RELIGIoN--WHAT Is IT!

by BISHOP HEBER.
Is it to 60 to church to-day,
To look devout and seem to pray,
And ere the morrow's sun goes down,
Be dealing SANDER through the town2
Does every sanctimonious face
Denote the certain reign of grace?
Does not phiz that scowls at sin
OF veil hypocrisy within.
Is it to make our daily walk,
And of our own good deeds to talk,
Yet often practice secret crime,
And thus misspend our precious time?
Is it for sect or creed to fight,
To call our zeal the rule of right,
When what we wish is, at the best,
To sec our church excel the rest?
Is it to wear the christians dress,
And love to all mankind profess,
And treat with scorn the humble poor,
And bar against them every door?
Oh, no! religion means not this,
It's fruits more sweet and fairer is
Its precept this: To others do
AS you would have them do to you.
1t grieves to hear an i'll report,
And scorns with human woes to SPORT
Of others deeds it speaks no i'll,
But tells of good or keeps it still.
And does religion this impart
Then may its influence fill my heart!
Oh! haste that blissful, joyful day,
When all the earth may own its sway.

Jackson Street Hospital and Surgical
INFIRMARY for NEGROES,
AIIGIISTA-G GA

AUGUSTA, Ga.
TNHE Undersigned would respectfully call the
Il attention of Planters and Slavc-owncrs gene
rally to their very complete and extensive establish
ment in Augusta Ca, for the accommodation OF
NEGROES requiring SURGICAL OPERA
TIONS or Treatment in CHRONIC DISEASES.
The Building is situated corner Of Jackson and
Fenwick Streets, between the Georgia and the Sa-
vannah Railroad Depots and in sight OF both.
1t is therefore convenient for the reception OF pa
tients from distance. In its construction, through
out the entire plan, was kept in view the special
purpose 10 which it applied being furnished with
everything which can conduce to the comfort OF the
SICK. It is supplied with hot and cold baths and
shower baths-and has waer-closets in each story
to avoid fatigue and exposure to the patients. It is
also well ventilated and lighted with gas. With
the constant attendance of experienced male and
female nurses the patient will be saved much OF the
suffering which too often is the result of unaroda-
BILE neglec, in the treatment of NEGROES in ordi-
nary private practice.
TERMS-For Board. Lodging and Nursing. per
month, $l0 For all NECESSARY Medical attendance,
Surgical Operations, &c, the same as in ordinary

TREATMENT OF Cn1LDREN.--That which
have often deemed as an indiscreet and
dangerous practice in many fathers is, to be
very indulgent to their children whilst they
are little, and, as they come to ripper years
to lay great restraint upon them, and live
with greater reserve towards them; which
usually produces an i'll understanding be.
tween father and son, which cannot but be
of bad consequence. And | think fathers
would generally do better, as the sons grow
up, to take them into nearer familiarity.
and live with them with as much freedom
of friendship as their age and temper will
allow.

The graduating class at old Yale, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight hun
dred and odd, had meeting the day before
they were to be made into Bachelors of
Arts; and at this meeting it was agreed that
each man should announce his intentions as
to the profession he designed to pursue
Ten years afterwards they would meet again,
and compare the results of the record.
Jenkins had been the fool Of the class
BY that good fortune which helps the lame
and the lazy, he had made out to squeeze
through the examnations-those strainers
designed to catch the fats-and he was
about to 60 forth with as broad dip ploma
as the best of his fellows. The president
of the meeting called on the students in
alphabetical order, and each man gave ex-
preston to his hopes and views. A smile
rose on every face when he siad,
"And, Mr.. Jenkins, what do you mean
to be?"
Jenkins had an inveterate habit of lisp
ing, which gave additional drollery to his
reply as he answered, "I am goin' to be a
'Pithocal minither." .
"Ah, indeed; and why so, Mr.. Jenkins" Z"
"For three reathons:
In the firth plathe, 'Pithcopal minithers
alwath marry rich wives.
In the thecond plathe, the prayers are
all written out.
"And, in the third plathe, the thermons
are very short, and them you can steal"
The theory of Mr.. Jenkins was atogeth-
er false and absurd; but the story is true,
and too good to be lost, as showing how
very big a fool Jenkins was, and what
STANCE notions fools will have sometimes.

MYSELF AND POLLY CARTER.

Bright is the tint of the Autumn leaf
When first the fell frost nps it;
Smart is red pepper and cider mixed,
To the mouth which gently sips it.:
But brighter far than Autumn leaf,
Than Cayenne pepper smarter,
Is the pride Of my heart-my own true love
My gentle, Polly Carter.
loved her when little girl,
And loved her more when older,
And never once shall forget,
When first my love told her:
She blushed, and sighed, and turned her head,
(Her eyes were filed with water):
took her hand within my own
And whispered" Polly Carter"
She only blushed deeper red,
And sweeter looked than ever;
My heart it seemed to run a race
With my old "patent levers"
| told her that loved her well,
And that ne'er would barter
For aught on earth, however priced,
The love Of Polly Carter.
| told her that had q farm
Well titled was every acre
And that had snug farm house
To which longed to take her:
And told her that unless she'd go,
For life I'd be martyr
To Cupid's cause, and break my heart
For gentle Polly Carter.
She turned, and oh how sweet she smiled
And said she loved me dearly:
Then what cared for aught beside
Twas quite blessed or nearly;
The g. old folks" said we might be wed,
And meier did feel smarter,
Than when the parson made us one,
Myself and Polly Carter.
