The Cholera in Pulaski.


We have so far had very little cholera 10
Pulaski, but great deal Of talk and uunec-
essary alarm about it. Pulaski is the most
healthy town Of two thousand inhabitants
in the Southern States. There are but few
local causes for cholera or any other disease,
while we have the best and purest Of water
in great abundance, and there is very little
probability that cholera viii ever become
epidemic here It maaa its appear
ance, however, ia very did form, on
Thursday, eth uit., when two persons Iiv-
ing on the southern outskirts of town near
the creek. were attacked; and since that time
there have been few other light cases, but
only two deaths. and these were traceable
to the most reckless indiscretion in eating.
In fact we are assured by physicians that
nearly if not quite every case of cholera
which has occurred here yet may be traced
to imPrudence not to say gross recklessness
in diet. One death, for instance, was pro-
duced by huge bait of green walnuts, and
the other was the result of a quantity Of
sour grapes and the nic-nacks Of pic-nick
taken on the stomach too freely. Oaly three
or four white persons have been attacked
from first to last, and none have died, and
even these our physicians hesitate to pro-
nouHce real cholera.
There have been no new cases for seYe-
raj days past, and we confidently indulge
the hope that it has entirely disappeared
from our midst.
Our physicians deserve great credit for
the skillful manner with which they have
cOmbatted the disease. They have over
thrown it in every instance except the two
aggravated cases alluded to above.
There have been three deaths in the coun-
try from the same cause One occurred at
DR.. Taylor's farm. 8 miles north, one st Mrs
Carter's, mile south, and one at the old
place of Alex Black, miles west of town.
We understand, however, that the latter
could hardly be considered cholera case.
A few families have left town, and many
exaggerated reports are flying through the
country, which have a tendency to keep
country people out of town. The conse-
quence is, there is but little bushes doing,
and the town wears sober appearance.
The danger is over non, and we hope to
see business revive.

AN ACKNOWLEDGING to the absence of
our principle compositor during he week,
and sickness in our own family part of the
time, we present quite meagre appearance
to day. We are sure our appreciative rea-
ders will accept this apology as sufficient
these cholera times. In fact the little time
we have had to devote to this paper, has
been employed almost entirely at work on
the large number of new advertisements
which crowd our columns to-day, Sc that
we have had very little time to get up read
ing matter. The truth is, the cholera ex-
citement which now prevails everywhere.
has created such dearth in the news mar
ket that there is nothing worth publishing.

Once, when playful, thoughtiess child,
found some bright and shining seeds,
Pleased with my glee, my mother smiled,
And so explained they were not beans,
But bade me bury In the ground
The little wonders had foend.
Obedient, yet wondered long
At counsel which deemed so strange,
And patiently, with faith full strong,
I waited for the promised change;
And soon urspEnging from the earth,
Isaw the magic plants come forth.
Ihad a plant j tended wen,
And long I waited for its bloom;
watched the budding petals swell,
Its blossoms rare, and rich perfume:
Its roots watered carefully,
And kept it growing 1alr and free.
But when the days grew short and cold,
And frost was in the chilly air,
The brigh' leaves futtered to the mold.
Inspite of allmy pains and care;
Imourned their fate; but in their room
Another spring restored the bloom.
With Cbildheod, then, hath 9asssd away
q loved and cherished oneS
Yet recall her day by day,
And cannot deem her gone: -
Forbirds return with summers reign,
And roses sweet viii bloom again.
The voice Of Nature we viii trust;
We see her beauties fade,
To spring to life again from dust,
In brighter robes arrayed

Only the forms our love caressed.

Beyond the mystic shore;

There is no Death-she is not dead,
But changed and glorifed instead.

WEALTH AND IAPPTNEss.-The in
sufficiency Of mere wealth alone to con-
fer happiness is strikingly illustrated in
the Life Of Nathan Myers Rothschild,
the Jew, who died in London somethirty
or forty Years ago, one of the most de-
voted Worshippers that ever laid a
Withered soul on the altar of Mammon.
For Years he welded the purse of the
world, opening and closing it to kings
and emperors as he listed and, upon
certain occasions, was supposed to have
more influence in Great Britain than
theproudest and Wealthiest of its mobiles
perhaps more confluence than the houses
of Parliament together. He once pur-
chased bills OF the government, in a
single day, to the amount Of $2,o00,000
and, with the profits Oh a single loan,
purchased an estate at the cost Of $780,
GOO. Yet, with all his colossal wealth,
he was q miserable man; and, with
sorroWful earnestness, once exclaimed
to a gentleman who was eongratulating
him on the gorgeous magnifcence Of his
palatial mansion, and thence inferring
that he was happy:
:" Happy! me happyn'
The late Stephen Girard when sur
rounded by immense wealth, and sup
posed to be taking extreme delight in
It's accumulation, wrote thus to a friend:
AS to myself, | live like galley
slave, constantly occupied, and often
passing the night without sleeping. |
am wrapped in q labyrinth of affairs,
and worn out with care. / do not value
festune. The love of labor is my high
est emotion. When I rise in the morn
ing, my only effort is to labor so hard
during the day that, when night comes,
| may be enabled to sleep soundly.n
