do not know what beautiful thoughts

KEEP MOVING.

In nothing has custom changed more
than in the treatment of the sick But
a little while ago bleeding, blisters, ca
thartics and emetics formed the staple of
medical treatment. 1t was customary
to give large doses of the most active and
poisonous medicines, and not unfre-
quently a mans reputation depended
upon the size of his doses. Among the
people cathartics and emetics were com
mon, and dose of pills was the prescrip-
tion for almost every imaginable all
ment.
There was an underlined idea that dis
ease was material something which had
unaccountably got into man, and must
be physiced, bled, blistered or sweated
out of him. 1t was sort of material
bewitchery, which must be exercised and
cast out.
But all this is now bravely altered
The mildest means are most popular.
The lancet and blister plaster are almost
unknown. All the torturing adjuncts
of old-sehool practice are mainly laid
aside, and Nature, not physic, is relied
upon, while physicians now often boast
how little medicine they give. -
Homeopathy has had much to do in
thus changing public sentiment. Her
mild doses and measures, and, above all,
the sentiment of mildness breathed in
her practice, and it's eminent success,
have inspired people with confidence in
mild measures and repulsion to the old
practices. Among those who have con-
tribnted to this change, Prof. Humphreys
stands pre- eminent. His extensive ad-
vertisements and writings, the very gen.
eral Introduction of his. Specific Homeo
pathic Remedies, and their unquestioned
success, have demonstrated practically
the durability of disease by the sugar-pill
doses, while he has gained an enviable
reputation by the success of his system.
The arguments Of Homeopathy may, OF
may not, be sound, but its practical sue
cess in the. form of Specifics is beyond
question, and its influence in forming a
better public sentiment not less decided.

These are the agents which cause a
vast amount of human suffering, mas
much as they tempt the appetite and bribe
nature to transgression, which never fails
of being punished, sooner or later.
All eat as much as they want of the
ordinary dinner before the dessert comes
in, and, without the dessert, would feel
a comfortable exhilaration for the re-
mainder of the day; but the tempter
comes in-the satiated palate is tickled,
whipped up-the man stufs On, and, for
the remainder of the day, is more like a
gorged anaconda than anything else-so
full, that he rises from the table with de-
liberation, strives against coughing, lest
he might jolt up his dinner, and then
sits down to doze away whole afternoon
under the oppressive influence of an in
glorious surfeit.
A large addition would be made to the
comfort and health of any family which
should discard the whole catalogue of
pies, pastries and puddings, as desserts,
and take, in their stead, one or two Or
anges or apples, or dish of fresh ripe
berries in their natural state; or, if out
of season or unattainable, an agreeable,
neat, and healthful substitute may be
found in 'smint-stick,'' bit of cream
candy, or piece of pure maple-sugar.

Jules Anderson, who first gave rise to the opinion that the precious metal does exist in the bowels of the earth beneath this town intends to prosecute the search to an extent which will admit of no doubt He informs us that he has succeeded in forming company of working men, who bind themselves to prospect with him for two months and that it is certainly his inten- ton to sink a shaft somewhere near Des Arc. He has already made some explorations into the country above town, and says that an old hunter has piloted him to place some fifteen miles dis tant where remains of machines, similar to those used in the quartz mines of California, were found which shows that others before him have found O. sought after the valuable orc, in this vicinity.

NELsox.-In this county, on Tuesday afternoon last l7th inst, oftyphoid pneumonia, at the res idence of Col. A. o. Edwards, Mir. James Nelson, in the 50th year of his age.
 MT. Nelson was native of Craven county, North Carolina, and for many years resident oi 1reenville, in that State. For the past two years, he has been travelling through Arkansas for buslness purposes, and had made many warm personal friends here as well as elsewhere, who will deeply regret his sad taking off. Mir. Nel- son reached Des Arc last Friday, in apparently good health, and accompanied Mr. Edwards home, where he was violently attacked, the same night, with the disease which proved so suddenly fatal During his illness, he received every kind ness and attention which lies in human power. but despite of all, the dread summons came and numbered him with the dead.
 His remains were placed in the Des Arc ceme- tery, Wednesday afternoon, by the Masonic fra ternity, with the ceremonies of that order
