A Great Mali.
DV OWES MEREDITH.
The man is great, and he alone,
Who t.- rves a greatnegss nothis own,
For neither praise nor pelf;
Content to know and be unknown,
Whole in himself.
Strong is that man, he only strong,
To whose well ordered will belong.
For service and delight,
All powers that despite of wrong,
Established right.
And free is lie, and only be,
Who from tyrant passions free,
By Fortune undismayed,
Hath power upon himself to be
By himself obeyed.
If such a man there be, wher’er
Beneath the sun and moon he fare,
He cannot face amiss;
Great nature hath him in her care,
Her cause is his.
Time cannot take him by surprise ;
Fate cannot crush him; he shall rise
Stronger from overthrow,
Whose arras a heavenly Friend supplies
Against heaven’s foe.
The merely great are alt in all,
No more than what the merely small
Esteemed them; man’s opinion
Neither conferred nor can recall
This man’s dominion.
I.ord cf a lofty life is he,
Loftily living, tho’ lie be
Os lowly birth ; tho’ poor,
He lacks not wealth nor high degree ;
In state obscure.
Though sadden’d, soiled not, broken not
Tho’ burden’d by his mortal lot
To strive with mortal bin.
And staid away with tears the spot
That sinks not in.
Vet not with downward eyes morose
Bent on himself, nor ear so close
Held to his ow n heart’s cell,
But what lie sees, and hears, aud knows.
And do til love well.
For though he lives aloof from ken,
The world’s unwitnessed denizen,
The love within him stirs
Abroad, and witli the hearts of men
His own confers.
The judge upon the justice-seat
The brown-backed better in the street,
The spinner in the sun ;
The reapers reaping in the wheat,
The wan-cheeked nun—
lie nothing human, alien deems
Unto himself, nor disesteems
Man’s meanest claims upon him;
And where he moves the mere sunbeams
Drop blessings on him.

Woman’s lliglits.
A German lmly writing from Dresden,
Saxony, to the Woman's Journal, thus speaks
on the vexed question of “Woman’s Eights:”
Women in America, having a very differ
ent standing in society, make different
claims, and for this reason we must each of
us go our separate ways. You are at the top
of the ladder, while we only place our foot
on the first step. Yet, do I presume too
mueli in saying, you had perhaps not care
fully enough examined the first step?
It seems to me as if women had failed in
impressing men with the conviction of their
fitness for higher employment, by not doing
thoroughly well the work within their reach.
Wo therefore have to prove that we can do
earnest work, though we had no rights be
fore the laws; and though married women
were the property of a husband, yet this did
not prevent either the married lady or the
spinster from being a thorough cook. No
body could hinder the sex from gaining the
master’s price in this occupation, so highly
valued by men, and yet we seo the male sex
outdo them in cooking; women have a natu
ral liking to this occupation; they take a
pleasure in preparing a tasteful meal for
those dear to them; they are handy and skill
ful in all those little domestic performances
which tend to adorn a household. Even
the little girl’s play denotes this taste of her
mature age, but still woman has never be
come proficient in a work destined for lior,
we may say by nature—a work which so en
tirely lies in her sphere, and in no way out
steps her capacities. Why this? Why did
she allow the best cooks to be men? Why
were the best works on gastronomy written
by men? Why has the male sex raised
cookery to bo an art, and made it, as it were,
a science?
Here it was in her power to outdo the
male sex, and to prevent all competition on
their part. Hero the field was hors, and she
had it in her grasp to bid the intruder re
treat. Why did she not do so? Wo may
say with regard to tailorship the same thing.
Sewing certainly is an occupation for ladies
and not for the stronger sex. The needle is
too small a weapon for tlio strong-built hand
of the master of creation, and we feel a sort
of contempt for a man who ungracefully
bends down upon a feminine work, which
however, he performs so much better than
women do, as to have acquired for himself
the lead in this branch of industry. His
competition would have proved useless, if
women had willed it; but their ambition was
not vivid enough to throw him out of the
field, and thus he has gained all the best
customers and fetches the highest prices.
There is no gainsaying that men work bet
ter with the needlo than women do. A boy
has to serve an apprentice for five years,
while a girl wants to learn dressmaking in
as many months. Her work never shows
that high finish which you see in a tailor’s
performance. lam of opinion that she has
committed a great sin in not doing earnest
work, when it was in her power to make it
lucrative and honorable. The Bible says:
“He that is faithful in that which is least,
will be faithful also in much.” I think wo
men ought to take this partieulary to heart;
for if they had proved superior in those
branches of industry which are at their
command, the question of their fitness for
higher employment never would have been
raised, and tlieir standing in society might
have been very different from whatsit is at
the present time. I could name other in
stances of this kind, bat I consider the two
branches of industry alluded to sufficient to
prove that women have been their own ene
mies in missiug opportunities when in their
power to help themselves.
New Fables.
Judgmen't versus J cstice. —‘ ‘Paddle, ” said
tlie Cat, “can you tell mo the difference be
tween a fault and an accident? for I get
kicked and cuffed at one time, aud let alone
at another, for the very same thing, and
I should like to know' what makes the dif
ference between them.”
“The difference, dear Tabby, is this," said
Paddle: “if I, by mistake, took your din
ner, it would be by accident, but if you took
miue, it would be a fault; and it is just ou
that principle that Betty visits your misde
meanors with wrath or forgiveness.
The Power of Love.— “ What a horrible
noise he makes!” said the Reeds.
“Horrible,” said the Rushes.
“Like a bull bellowing,” said the Reeds.
“Like a horse neighing,” said the Rushes.
“He makes the very earth shake!” they
exclaimed together.
“A, song beloved,” said the Bittern’s
mate; “harsh aud dissonant to many, but
sweetest music to me. How it rejoices my
heart to listen to it!”
“Only hear her,” whispered the Reeds to
the Rushes.
“Well, it only shows what love can do.”
Fifteen Great Mistakes.— It is a great
mistake to set up our own standard of right
and wrong, and judge people accordingly.
It is a great mistake to measure the enjoy
ments of others by our own ; to expect uni
formity of opinion in this world ; to look for
judgment aud experience in youth ; to en
deavor to mould all dispositions alike ; not
to yield in immaterial trifles; to look for
perfection in our own actions; to worry
ourselves and others with what cannot be
remedied ; not to alleviate all that needs al
leviation, as far as lies in our power ; not to
make allowances for the infirmities of oth
ers; to consider everything impossible which
wo cannot perform ; to believe only what
our finite minds can grasp; to expect to be
able to understand everything. The great
est of all mistakes is, to live for time, when
any moment may launch us into eternity.
The Closing Scene. —Let all remember
that the closing scene death must sooner or
later be realised. Your friends shall stand
round your dying bed, in the heart-sinking
stillness of anxious suspense, gazing through
tears of affectionate anguish on your chang
ing countenance, and watching for that
breath that shall part you from them for
ever. O, that, whether that breath shall be
drawn by you with that softness that leaves
attending relations uncertain whether it has
passed your lips, or shall be heaved aloud
with strongest convulsive gaspings of
violent dissolution, you may possess in your
departure the blessed hope of the gospel—
that when you lie shrouded for your grave,
and when you are laid in the mansions of
silence, it may be said over you with truth
by surviving friends, “sorrowful, yet re
joicing,” “blessed are the dead that die in
the Lord; that they may rest from their
labors, and their works do follow them.”
A man and his wife agreed in everything,
except that he was a burgher and she an
anti-burgher. During their whole married
life they had always gone to their separate
churches. Tho union of these churches
was proposed, and the respective ministers
approved, to the great grief of the worthy
couple. Said the wife, “We have lived a
testifeein’ life a’ our days, and isad it hard
we canna end as we began!”

Those Marbles.
“There can be no harm in just playing for
marbles,” said Charlie to his mother.
“Yes, my son,’’she replied,_ “thereisham.
What do you give for your marbles ?”
“Nothing mother.”
‘ ‘Can anything be rightfully yours when
yon give nothing for it ?”
“But mother, James was willing I should
have them, and they were his.”
“Not willing, my son. Neither were you
willing .Tames should have yours. You both
tried to get the other’s marbles for nothing ;
he failed and you succeeded. You own his
marbles without making him any return for
them. It is not right before God, or by the
rules of justice, that man lias recognized for
his own government.”
“But mother, it was fair."
“No, not fair, my son. Nothing is fair
which is left to chance. Suppose here were
a hundred dollars. You were entitled to
one-half, and .Tames the other. Now it
would be fair to sit down aud couut out your
half, and give him his ; but, if you were to
take it a!/, it would not be fair. Now chance
would as likely give you all. as a part. So
chance is not fair.”
“That is so mother, hut if we agree to
leave it to chance then isn’t it fair ?”
“No, you only agree to do an unfair and
wrong thing. It does not make it right.”
"Never play for any winnings. It is gam
bling to do so. The gambler is a sinner be
fore God, and a curse to society. If you
play for winnings now, you will do so on a
larger scale, perhaps, when older. Make
this your rule—‘l’ll never bet.’ Then you
are safe.”
“Well mother, is it wrong to play mar
bles, and base-ball, and all these games ?”
“No my son, it is not wrong simply to
play them. They do you good, unless you
make harm of them by betting, or by neg
lecting work or books for play. When you
have earned time for play, you may enjoy
these games.”
“Why will you not consent for mo to play
cards for fun, or throw dice ? What is the
difference between them and other games ?”
■‘A great difference with me, my child.
Cards and dice are the regular tools of the
black-legs, as we call the gamblers of the
country ; and, on account of their associa
tions, I want you to shun them. But the
great difference is this : those I allow you
to play are games of skill; cards, and dice,
and many others, are games of chance. Now,
no game of chance can be fair. You should
have nothing to do with them even “in fun.”
Make it a rule, not to play any game of chance
for amusement even ; and no game at all for
winnings. To be a successful card player,
or to succeed regularly in any game of this
sort, is simply to become an expert in cheat
ing. Let them alone. Abstain from the
appearance of evil, Christian law says. You,
I hope, wish to be a noble, high-minded,
Christian gentleman. Then shun these vul
gar games and seek mauly amusement. De
velopo your body and mind by healthy,
harmless sports, and study of useful books,
and you will make an honored man. God
forbid you should ever be a drunkard, or a
gambler.”
“But mother, they say it requires skill -
calculation —to play cards.”
“Os a very low order, my child. So low,
that you will please me, and benefit yourself
to refuse a gamo, even in genteel society.”
“Would that be polite ?”
“Yes, you could decline politely. Polite
ness is not so much in what you do, as the
way you do it. The person would be rude,
who would insist when he knew you did not
wish to play.”
“Good people play cards for fun, mother.”
“If you mean polite, clever ladies and gen
tlemen, you may be right; but if you mean
pious people, I think you will find vourself
mistaken. Very few deeply pious persons
can be persuaded to touch a card.”
"Well, I’ll promiso you, mother, never to
bet, never to gamble, never to play for any
thing ; and I don’t think I’ll ever learn to
play at cards or dice. I want to do right;
and you know better than T the ways of the
world.”
As time passed on, Charlie grew to man
hood, keeping his promise. In very early
life he was thrown upon his own resources
ar and began bis work amoug strangers. Every
body drank, in that new county ; betting
was common at. every “gathering.” Men
bet on the best shot, the best jumper, the
fastest horse or man. Charlie kept his word.
At first he was laughed at; then they let
him alone ; and at last, honored him for his
integrity. Charlie lives, a prosperous, hon
ored man, to-day. G. H. Wf.ees.

Col. W. 11. Stansell, was born in Greenville,
S. 0., 27th July, 1819, and died in Warrenton,Ga.,
Dec. Ist, 1870.
He came to Georgia when about 17 years of age,
and for the greater part of the remaining years of
his life, was identified with the Cherokee bar
having his residence at Dalton. Being driven from
his home by the war, he found shelter and friends
in Middle Georgia—where he “fell on sleep.” He
was a man of many noble traits of eharaeter —
generous in every impulse—sincere in all his pro
fessions—ingenuous in all his deliverances—affable
and courteous in his manners—kind and obliging
in all his earthly relations and actions—an affec
tionate husband—a loving father—a warm friend—
an earnest Christian. He was “not ashamed of
the gospel of Christ.” How early he became a
believer in its doctrines is not known. But it is
known, however, that he has uuiformly sustained
and honored Christian integrity in every place of
abode—that he carried his religion with him into
the court room and on the public thorougfare; as
well as into the family circle, and the sanctuary.
He “loved the habitation of God’shouse” —greatly
enjoyed the privilege of participating in its sacred
harmonies and solemn feasts, and often under
the preaching of the gospel, attested his gratitude
and love to God by the loud shout or the falling
tear. lie was unable to mingle regularly in the
holy convocations of the church, the last year of
his life, on account of severe and long-protracted
illness; bnt the religions principle retained Its
characteristic development in ail his conduct and
conversation unto the end. He was called to en
dure much hardness and to pass through great
tribulation after the late war; but being a man of
faith and patience, he endured all “as a good sol
dier of Teens Christ,” and through much suffering
and great grace, patience "had her perfect work”
in his experience. He was a good man—“did what
he could” in life, and endured unto death, with
the most uncomplaining Christian resignation.
“As sinks the gale when storms are o’er,” he
passed away from earth—gently closed his eyes
upon tho temporal to look with undimmed gaze
upon the eternal. T. A. Seals, Pastor,
W. B. Gainet, was bom in N. C., and died of
apoplexy, in Warrenton, Ga., Dec. 24th, 1870, in
the 4Gth year of his age.
He came to Warrenton about the close of the
war, and continued a citizen of this community
until his death. During the first year of the wri
ter’s ministry here, he met and freely conversed
with the deceased on the subject of religion. He
claimed to have been, in former years, the subject
of God’s grace; but by reason of temptation, and
perhaps for the lack of early religious training and,
later, of Christian sympathy and encouragement,
lie turned back, and his spiritual state, when first
ascertained, verified the fearful Scripture account
of the apostate. “His last state was worse than
the first.” He was a sinner indeed—an avowed
sinner—a sinner without dissimulation or coun
terfeit. But early in the past year, he was found
more frequently at the house of God. In the gra
cious revival in September, he became through
the earnest entreaties of friends and brethren, a
seeker of religion—wrestled with God for pardon
—lingered long around the altar, came and went,
and came again, and “would not be comforted.”
At his baptism, the Spirit of God came upon him
in power, and caused him to “cry out” In giving
God praise. The whole man was changed. Now
he loved to “walk about Zion”—rejoiced to meet
his brethren in the social meetings of the chureh
—prayed frequently in the congregation—talked
freely and lovingly of God’s goodness in the class
meetiug—erected a family altar by his own hearth
stone, and constituted his humble home a very
Paradise on earth. He longed to bring his aged
parents, neither of whom were pious, to God and
heaven, and was preparing to revisit his birthplace
for this purpose, when stricken by paralysis. Let
them remember this, should they see this notice
His pilgrimage was very short, but long enough to
entitle him to a right to the tree of life, which
grows “in the midst of the Paradise of God.”
T. A. Seals, Pastor.
Mrs, Sakaii Bunch, wife of Jno. J. Bunch, and
daugthterof John Gay, of Randolph co., Ga.,was
born July sth, 1831, and died Jan. 4th, 1871, in
Polk co., Fla.
She joined the M. F.. Church in 1850, and has
ever since lived a devoted member, constantly and
faithfully evincing the characteristics of a pious
Christian. Her death was victorious; though her
sufferings under the pain of severe organic infla
matiou were so intense as to prevent her manifest
ing the smiles and shouts of triumph. We are
informed that forthe last ton years of her afflicted
life, she has been living in daily preparation and
resignation as though she expected soon to be
called “up yonder.” When lier husband said to
her, “Sarah you are dying now, how is it between
you and your Master '/” she emphatically replied,
“It is all well,” and she passed tranquilly away.
None surpassed her in those grand virtues which
qualify woman for the sphere of wife, mother,
daughter or friend; and it is acknowledged by those
of whom she had special charge as step-mother,
that they knew no difference between her and a
real mother. A. S. J.
Mrs. Martha Carter, wife of John T. Carter,
of Hogansville, Ga., died with 2d Btroke of paral
ysis, aged nearly 66 years.
She was raised in Burke co., where she married,
then moved to Monroe, and on to Meriwether co.,
in the first settling of the country. She and father
joined the M. E. Church, Oct. 1842. She endeav
ored to adorn her profession as best she could,
sometimes under trying oircumstances. She was
one of those who came ont of tribulation, washed
her robe and made it white in the blood of the
Lamb. Lifejwith her was a struggle at times. A
more devoted wife I never knew. Fond of her
household, children, grand-children and servants,
all miss her. She delighted to have the preachers
at her home. She was speechless in the last at
tack, but two years ago when first attacked, she
expressed a perfect resignation to the Divine will,
and thought it better for her to depart then; but
God knew what was best, and spared her a few
more days. We believe thfl-t our mother is enjoy
ing the rest that remains to the people of God.
We sorrow that we are motherless, but have a
good hope through Christ that we shall meet
again. Her Son.
Bro. John L. Smith, was born in Washington
co., in 1818; professed religion, and joined the
church in 1840, and died in Marion co., Ga., Jan.
10,1871.
After many vicissitudes {of prosperity and ad
versity, “a good man,” has entered into peace. By
faithful discharge of duty, he won that which
is rather to be chosen than silver and gold—
a good name. He knew affliction for the four
last years of his life. Sickness, and suffering,
sanctified by divine grace, brought him nearer and
lower to the feet of Jesus, and he found that solace
and joy there, which he had never known when
the unrippled tide of success rolled around, and
the sky beamed in beauty above. The writer visit
ed him a few days before his death, and found him
trusting and happy. He said to his devoted wife,
‘O, that all my neighbors would come and see me;
I would tell them what great things the Lord has
done for my soul.” His last words were, “happy,
happy! Jesus is’in my sou!, the hope of glory. ”

Sister Eliza Harris, wife of Mr. James J.
Harris, was born in Scriven co., Ga., about 1816,
and died in Decatur co., Ga., Dec. 9, 1870.
She joined the Methodist Church in 1844, to
which she remained faithful to the day of her de
parture. She was much afflicted for eighteen years
with bronchitis, which finally terminated her pious
life. She was resigned to all her afllictions in life,
and endured them without a murmur. She could
truly say, “though he slay me, yet will 1 trust in
him.” All had the utmost confidence in her pro
found piety. She let her light shine. A holy,
consecrated life can disarm death of its sting. She
was not afraid to die—Jesus smiled on her, and
she on death. She expressed her willingness to
go, feeling it was far better to depart and be with
Christ. Her bereaved husband and children are
following on. AV. Lane.
Mrs. Mary L. White, daughter of John Bryant,
of Houston co., and wife of William White, died
Nov. sth, 1870.
She embraced religion, and joined the church,
at an early age. Her early life was an example of
piety, and she held fast the profession of her faith,
without wavering, till her latestjday. Asa danght er,
her dutiful love made all the time of a kind father
a blessing. Asa wife, affectionate and faithful,
she was unsurpassed in kindness, and tenderness,
to her sweet little step-child. Like the holy
women of old, her chief ornament was that of a
meek and quiet spirit. Intelligent and cheerful,
amiable, and retiring, the community honored and
loved her as one of its brightest jewels. Her end
was peace. She “rests from her labors, and her
works follow.” W. W. 8.
Esther Ann Laramore, wife of A.~A. Lara
more, was born in Newberry Dist., S. C., August
25th, 1819, and died in Thomson, Ga., Jan, 25th,
1871, after a long illness of the inflammation of the
liver, together with typhoid fever.
At 16, she profossed religion and joined the M.
E. Church, and till her death lived an active, lively,
zealous Christian. She was ever singing spiritual
songs of praise to the triune Jehovah, and in the
hour of death, she sang, “There is a land of pure
delight.” While singing the last verse, and stand
ing upon the shore of Jordan, she exclaimed that
she saw tlie “Beautiful River” of Heaven. Soon
death overshadowed her, and her sonl took its
everlasting flight to Paradise, leaving a spiritual
request to each member of the family.
Mrs. Molly Burkitt, died Dec. 18th, 1870,
aged 67 years. In her 17th year she was married
to Wm. Baker of Sumter co., S. C. In 1835, she
was left a widow with seven children; in 1870 she
was married to Stephen Burkitt.
She was converted and joined the Baptist Church
in early life, and remained a consistent member
till she joined the church triumphant. She was a
kind and indulgent mother, an affectionate wife,
and an humble, devoted Christian. When in per
fect health she told her two daughters living with
her, that should Bhc die suddenly, they must not
doubt her being happy; for she was ready at any
time. Her last illness, borne with great patience,
was very painful. She often expressed a desire to
depart and be at rest—said she was ready and
willing to go. Her Daughter.

TWO COURSES OF I.ECTURF.S ARE DE
livered —the usual Winter, commencing in
October, and an additional Spring and Summer
Coarse. The
SPRING AND SUMMER COURSE OF 1871
will commence WEDNESDAY, MARCH 32d,
and continue four months.
The Lectures will be delivered jointly by the
Faculty and Adjunct Faculty, the former giving
Special Courses, and the whole affording a com
plete ciiriculum of medical instruction, elemen
tary and practical.
CLINICS: a Medical, a Surgical, a Woman's
and a Children’s Clinic, and a Clinic for the Eve
and F.ar.
Opportunities for Exercises in Diagnosis and
Prescribing, in Operative and Minor Surgery, and
in Practical Chemistry, afforded the student under
careful supervision.
Attention is called to tire advantages presented
in this Course for acquiring a practical knowledge
of the Diseases of Warm Seasons and Climates,
constituting the larger proportion of all the dis
eases requiring the care of the practitioner in the
Middle and Southern States.
The Faculty, thou not exacting attendance on
this Course as a condition for the Degree, are so
impressed with its importance to thorough pro
fessional training, that they encourage it by cred
iting the Fees on the Tickets of the Winter Ses
sion, and by employing the facilities for board
under their control, so as practically to enable the
student, to enjoy its advantages with a trifling ad
dition to the cost of the AVinter Lectures alone.
And in view of the provisions made in it for ele
mentary instruction, they dispense with the re
quisition of the year’s previous study with a pre
ceptor, either for admission to this Course, or
for candidacy for the Degree, to those who have
otherwise complied with the usual requirements.

It will perhaps be sufficient to say of these teachers
that they were educated at the Wesleyan Female
College, Macon, Ga., and are experienced toaehers
in their several branches. We propose to make the
Atlanta Literair Female Institute a First Class
Boarding and Day School for girls and young la
dies. AVe intend to merit suc<*ms. The Course
of Study will be that, substantially, of the Wes
leyan Female College, through the Sophomore
Class, and the method of instruction will be
thorough—thereby enabling young ladies, who
may so desire, to enter the Junior Class of that
deservedly renowned Institution. At the same
time a list of studies and method of instruction
will be selected, adapted to the advancement of
those who cannot take a systematic Course. The
buildings, erected in 1865, but newly painted and
fitted up, are sufficiently ample to accommodate
sixteen boarding pupils, and to that end the rooms
will be supplied with new walnut bed-steads, wash
stands, bureaus and new mattresses, etc., etc., every
thing necessary to comfort, except bed clothing,
which young ladies must furnish according to
their wants.
The Superintendent, with his family, the teach
ers and the boarding pupils will reside in the In
stitute—thus composing one family, not so large
but that the wants and interests of all may be
specifically looked after. Application for board
should be made immediately to the Superintendent.

Messrs. Pemberton, Taylor J: Cos., Atlanta, Ga. .-
Gents—For the past two months I have been
suffering with a very severe cough, and I used fifty
different remedies without receiving the least
benefit; but a few days ago a friend recommended
your Globe Flower Cough Syrup, and I am proud
to Bay that my cough was entirely cured before
the bottle was near empty.
I am, very respectfully, E. T. Bvington.

Messrs. Pemberton, Taylor and; Cos. :
Dear Sirs—l received the bottle of Globe Flower
Cough Syrup at noon, yesterday, and began tlie
use of it immediately. My patient passed a more
comfortable night than she has for three months,
and now, at 10 o’clock a. m., saya she feels like
another woman. I intend to continue the use of
the Globe Flower Syrup, believing it will make a
cuie. Never have I witnessed such great benefit
from a remedy in so short a time, in my life. I
shall, in the future, use your Globe Flower Syrup
in all cases of colds, coughs and all affections of
the lungs that, may present themselves.
