The Physical Benefits of Singing.

We cut the following interesting article.
with the above title, from the New York
Clipper Of November 10. 1t deserves atten-
tive perusa
The following will he found among the
good effects accruing from the practice of
singing: a frequent correction Of defects IN
speech, including stammering, Kissing and
nasal condition. Singing also improves the
hearing; for, by listening to singing, people
learn to distinguish the relative positions Oh
the notes uttered by one voice. The ear
thus becomes practiced, and fully able tc
convey the close distinction of tone to the
seat Of perception.
Singing, besides, is great improver Of thC
health Of children, Notwithstanding an opin
ion to the contrary has been ng current
and that singing by young children, in par
ticular, has baneiul tendency, occasionins
splitting Of blood, and pulmonary diseas
as. However, recent scientific examination
IN Germany and elsewhere, have demonstra
ted the utter fallacy Of this idea. Nothin.

there saw their last remains laid. There
they must lie until Gabricrs trump shall call
the dead to arise, and put on Immortality.
They will die no more; they have won the
victory; they have reached the happy land
where pain and death are felt and feared no

FOR TIE SPIRIT OF TILE AGE

Bro. GoRMAS: Rev. j. w. Pender, ID. r.
w. G. 7. Of u. S., arrived here last Saturday
morning on his way to Temperance Cele-
bration, and was solicited to give Brother
w. X. Saunders his assistance in getting up
and organizing Good Templar's Lodge"
in our new and romantic town He yielded.
and the resul: is Lodge of strength, respec.
ability and jealous members, worthy of our
noble cause. 1t is gratifying to know that
some Of the oldest and most influential citi-
Kens united in the band with zeal conmensu.
rate with their hearts and ability.
Thanks be TO God for his mercy and bless
ings. The cause is prospcring, not only in
this county, but throughout the State. Ours
is number los, and in respect to the self
sacrificing zeal of our worthy Brother, W.
X. Saunders, who is Deputy in this field
and who, without The hope Of fee or reward
here, takes his carriage, bids his overseer
"attcnd to his business whilst he. travels
from Lodge to Lodge, and place to place,
with legal love and Christian urbanity, and
shouts hosanah to the rising and advancing
Temperance cause which is bound to speed
its way, assisted by the love, friendship and
ability Of so good a hian. --a
We remarked that the Temperance cause
is rapidly advancing: as an evidence Of this
this State there was not more than
30 MEMBERS or at least there were no
Lodges in any county but Tishamingo. The
number is now as you sec, 1OS, and the mem
bers count by thousands. Brother Pender
needs no eulogy from us. The distinguished
position that has been conferred upon him
by such powerful combination of good men,
is a sufficient guarantee Of his character
zeal and ability. Our worthy G. T. is a man
elegantly fitted for not only the position that
he occupies, but is capable of filling any
station in Our State within the gift of the
people. He is a distinguished head member
of the Grand Masonic Lodge of the State, anC
is High Priest Of the Chapter in this town
all Of which places he fills with ability anC
esteem that few men ever reach.
Our meetings are held i'm the Masoni,
Hall. We have old and young rich and poor
male and female BY the blessing Of God w
have banded together against the common
y-"lntemperance." We learn ais,
that the oldest Lodges in the State are gene
rally firm, and still increasing. There ar
many jealous men Inv the field Of talent an,
ability, that, under the blessings of Heaven
viii carry cut almost any enterprise If w
could get moderate drinkers to stop, VI
would soon have no drunkardS. All drunk
ards were once moderate drinkers. Ma,

Beautiful Anecdote.

In Mr.. Kilpin's school were two brothers.
from eleven to twelve years old. One of
these children had, after repeated admoni-
tons, manifested determined obstinate
and sulky resistance. Mr.. Kilpin told him
that the result of such conduct would be a
chastisement that would not, easily be
forgotten. He was preparing to inflict it on
the still hardened child, when his brother
Paul came forward and entreated that he
might bear the punishment of his brother.
Mr.. Kilpin remarked
Ny dear Paul, you are one of nv best
boys; yoC have never needed chsstisement
your mind is tender; could not be so un
just as to give you pain, my precious child.
The dear boy said 81 shall endure NOR,

"Killing no Murder "

We read in history that In Cremw ellis
time pamphlet was issred in England en-
titled "Killing no Murder" and, although
the people were not so far advanced m Her-
ais or religion in those days as We ara, now,
still the moral sense of the community was
greatly shocked with the atrocity og the idea
that human life might be destroyed with im-
punity and without law, under any eiroam-
stances. We think, however, that bad the
author of the pamphlet lived ,n our time, he
might have found many ready to sympathize
with him, and in many localities, VIC verify
believe even majority. There is most GER
tainly great dea. of killing m these. days,
which the community does ea1 murder, even
in the lowest degree. Thousands are killed
by intoxicating drink every year, bat how
many dare to say they are murdered ?, Yet

Origin of Consumption.

The American Medical Monthly for Sep
tember contains some novel and interesting
views relative to the nature and treatment
of consumption The seat of this terrible
malady is affirmed to be the lympathetic SIS
tenn of vessels and as these minute tubes
form a close interlacement throughout tie
whole body, being also endowed with much
activity, diseased fluids transmitted through
them are liable, under certain conditions, to
be deposited anywhere, and to spread or
aecumu ate with prodigious rapidity. The
nature of consumption is stated to consist in
deprivation of the fluids which are propel-
led through these tiny lympathetic conduits.
Two theories are. proposed to account for
the presence Of 4sa pernscious elements
which here taint and poison the springs of
life at their source. One party affirms that
the process of nutrition is at fault, and that
part of the food eaten is lazily and inper-
fectly assimilated, offering itself in crude,
half prepared state, to the actions of vessels
not adapted TO deal with such material, but
only with those which have been Submitted
to completcr preliminary elaboration.
Hence cellular developement, the first step
in organization, is impossible The fluid
cannot be takeu up. 1t never becomes vi
talized Or forms union with anv living It's
sue. On the contrary, it is burden, and
soon calses mischief. Another party thinks
that the material thus existing in the far
reaching network of lympathetic vessels is
due to decay, and contains the products of
organic dissolution.
Both opinions are we'll supported, and
perhaps, both may prove to be true. That
some noxious materials, whether the debris
of used up tissues or withered dead elements
refusing to become new tissues, are thrown
copiously near the lymphatics, is agreed ;
and also that the quantity Of such products
is SO great that this great active sewerage
apparatus cannot carry it away. 1t accumu-
lates and hard rs into tuberces
The cause OF this dreadful malady is stated
by oar author to be primarily the want of
oxygen, whose presence in sufficient quantity
would either prevent the formation Of the
tnberculous material, CT would give power
to cast it out as soon as formed A cure in
the early stages of the disease is said to have
sometimes been secured by the use of chlor-
ate of potash, and other remedies which sup
ply oxygen to the blood.
Prevention, however, here as everywhere,
is easier than cure and is seldom impossible,
whatever be the hereditary tendency to the
malady. Muscular exercise, regular habits,
fresh air, suitable food, ample rest. active
occupation wellventillated apartments, prop
er clothing and exemption from corroding
anxiety, are among the indispensable and
most ordinary precautions. - ..

Mrs. Murray, an English lady, has been a

"These are pretty portraits, Which Mrs.
