kill others

TO BROTHER BENNIE.

1.-THE subject of these lines was sprlgntl5 ana IN
teresting child of this county, VINO olea e" "eehs
ago, aged only ten years HIS IDEAS 81 heaven were
remarkable for one of his age. His mind was clear
making these sweet illusions up few hours of his
death
As fond mother leand DER the dying bed
OF her last fond one dear,
His sparkling eye sanity lustre shed,
As though, now, heaven was near.
Mother, oh Mother dear, Pm going hone,"
Said this sanity dying child;
"Dear Willie* is there too; oh, will you come
Do, and see us after awhile.
Weep more Pm not now afraid to die;
Good children to Jesus go;
And why should I be afraid why why!
This you taught me long ago.
With pale quivering lips he family said:
"Say that little prayer
That first nightly on your knees prayed:
Then, oh say you'll meet me there
.Mother, Pm weary, let me sleep awhile"
Then folded across his breast
His tiny hands, and with angelic smile
He gently sank to rest
Though far away sister kissed thee for me,
Dear lovely, dying child;
oh, that too had been there to
And share thy sweet angelic SMILE
Here, cheerlessly while Lwearily pace
The long lone night yigils by
Fond memory brings back thy sweet face
And dark hazel sparkling eye.
When think that these I'll no more behold,
Upheaves the unbidden sigh,
Then something within whispers to my soul:
ITS far better thus to die
No, dear Brother, we'll weep more for thee,
Though from Mothers bosom torn;
Well take back the thought, and let you be
cherub in Jesus own. BROTHER.

THE VALUE OF THE CONSUMPTION Acr.-Ths
Secretary of War in his official report to Congress
of the Military operations of the Confederate
States, for the year 1862, takes occasion to refer
to the first CONSUMPTION act of Congress as having
wroughtour salvation from destruction or Infamous
thraldom, and says that if it could have been
sooner adopted or more speedily and thoroughly
executed, 1t may well be doubted whether the
first act alone might not have been sufficient to
extort from our obdurate foes, in their own capital
or on their own conquered soil, permanent peace
and independence. He declares that at the
eliminating point of our late successful advances
could fifty thousand more troops Of the Coufederacy
have been added to the victorious armies of Gems
Lee and Bragg, the full fruition of our highest
hopes would almost have beer assured This is
valuable testimony in favor of the policy Of
CONSUMPTION, but We believe it will not be iono
before the whole country will be brought to admit
that the measure, though seemingly harsh, was
necessary and that upon it depended the salvation
or destruction of the Confederacy The people
at first disposed to look upon it as unnecess-
arily oppressive, yielding to it only au unwilling
acquieseence, but they will hereafter consider it
SIS the best and wisest measure which it was
possible to adopt under the circumstances

IRIsH PoTAToEs-We urge most strenuously
upon the people to put in an abundance of this
crop. Cut them small, and plant any time in
March, during the full moon in that month some
say is the best time. By planting in March there
is very little danger from the frost. Any rotting
7egetsble matter is . good manure for the Irish
potatoes-the scraping of fence corners, under old
logs in the woods and deeayed leaves wherever
they can be found. Be certain to put on plenty.
and as we before said, cut them small, so as to
Plant large space. This is an important crop,
espeeially for this season. 1t comes earlier than
any other, and answers very well for corn

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is n constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak. and poor. Being in the circulation, il
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is FREQ
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous tant is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above oil, by the yenereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution. descending " from parents to children
unto the third md fourth generation :" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, II
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from tho
blood OF corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellngs; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
rupton, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous consttu-
tons not only suffer from scrofuous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in tho
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofuous contamination; and many
destructive diseases OF the liver, kidneys, BRAN,
and, indeed. of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofnlous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
10 cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such a medicine we supply in
