both firm believers in the prophecy oi
Father Miller; and not doubling for mo.

Wife-Well, husband, I believe that

Husband-I am rejoiced to hear it ; but
my dear wife. I have no doubt there are
many little domestic secrets which We have
kept hidden from each other, which, hat
they been known at the time of their oc'
currence, might have produced unpleas

81 WILL. We like that strong, robust
expression. No one, having uttered it il
sincerity, was ever mean, cringing man
The pigmies of the world did not trouble
him, although they rose in masses to pull
him down. He speaks, and his indomit
able will prevails. His enemies fall before
him. He rides forth conqueror. Would
you be great? Would you be distinguished
for your scientific or literary attainments
Look not mournfully at your lot, but with
II wil' breathing from your lips and
bursting from great heart, you can not
but prevail. Show us the man that never
rose higher than a toad-stood, and whose in
Auence died with his breath, and We viii
point you to a groping, cringing wretch,
who trembles at the approach of a spider

and if your thoug hts are directed in chan

it may be called universal. II Is shedding its light

TELL Your MoTHER.-I wonder how
many girls tell their mother everything
Not those "young ladies" who, going to
and from school, smile, bow, and exchange
notes and cartes de pisite with young men
who make fun of them and their pictures,
speaking in way that would make their
cheeks burn with shame if they heard it.
All this, most incredulous and romantic
young ladies, they will do, although they
gaze at your fresh young faces admiringly,
and send or give you charming verses and
bouquets. No matter what 'other girls do
don't you do it. Schoolgirl hirtations
may end disastrously, as many foolish,
wretched young girl could tell you. Your
yearning for some one to love is a great
need of every woman's heart. But there
is time for everything. Don't let the bloom
and freshness of your heart be brushed of
in silly Airtations. Render yourself truly
intelligent; and, above all, tell your moth
er everything. Never be ashamed to tell
her, who should be your best friend and
canfdante, all you think and feel. 1t is
very strange that so many young girls will
tell every person before ''mother," that
which is most important she should know.
1t is very sad that Indifferent persons should
know more about her own fair daug ghters
than she does herself.

season of dysentery, and there is a good
deal of it in our city. I would like to call
the attention of the community to sover-
eign recipe for diarrhea, dysentery, &C.
1t has been in use in my fathers family for
the last twenty years, and has never failed
to effect cure. You will please give it q

Put in large pitcher two tablespoonsful
of carbonate of soda and four of loaf su-
gar, pour on these apint of hot water, when
they are perfectly dissolved add half pint

ounces of the tincture, small teaspoonful

permint, or enough of the tincture to give
it perceptible taste, and lastly, half a
pint of good French brandy. Bottle up
carefully, and administer to the patient in
doses equal to half a wine glass full three
times day, or as often as the bowels are
moved. In extreme cases, accompanied by
gripping pains, double the proportion of
brandy and laudanum, and use freely
Give it fair trial, no family should be
without it.-Atlanta IntelHgencer.

AT A TURNING POINT.

AS Thomas Bent was walking along the
street one day, he saw gentleman drop q
purse upon the walk. Thomas quickly
picked it up, slipped it very slyly into his
pocket, and walked on saying to himself,
''I'm lucky fellow This purse feels as
if there was good lot of money in it.
Hurrah for Tom Bent !"
Just then the boys conscience woke up
and whispered, "What are you going to dc
with that purse? It is not yours. If you
keep it you will be thief. Remember the
eighth commandment, Thou shalt not
steal"
Thomas paused moment to think
Then, with flashing eyes, he ran after the
gentleman, and handing him thepurse said
IF you please, sir, you dropped your purse
Here it is"
"You are an honest boy" said the man.

ropr veaTh&p and Now. :,

Toombs, Howell Cobb and half hundred
more of the Generals, Colonels, Majors, &c.,
who were prominent actors in the New York
Convention, were leading the rebel armies
in their efforts to destroy the Government.
Now they are hand glove with Seymour,
Vallandigham and all the bright lights of
the Coppcrhcad organization, who gave
them aid and comfort while they were en-
gagged in their atrocious warfare.
Gen. Grants southern adversaries now
are the identical men he met in battle
on the James and the Rapidan, and his
northern adversaries are the identical men
who at that time did everything they could
to embarrass and help to defeat him. "The
war; said Toombs in his speech at the
Seymour and Blair ratification meeting in
Atlanta, the other day, "was produced by
the defeated Democratic party in 1sGO;'
and, as every one knows, was fought by the
southern wing of that party, with the sym.
pathy and assistance of a large portion of
its northern wing Presuming the northern
wing would have control of the Government,
the wiley southern politicians deemed it
more prudent to attack with divided force.
But as Grant and the loyal masses succeeded
in foiling their schemes, the two wings of
the party have again united and are endeav.
oring to do with the ballot what they failed
to do with the bayonet-get possession of
the Government.
No amount of sophistical reasoning can
wipe out the simple fact that the divided
Democratic party, which we fought and con-
quered in the rebellion, is the same Demo.
cratic party again united that the Republi-
cans are to meet at the polls in November.
Some changes and assertions have occurred
on both sides; but the great masses re.
main ranged to-day as they did all through
the war. Their objects and purposes are
the same now as then; and the war will
have been fought in vain if Grant fails to
obtain this fall, q more glorious victory than
that Of Appomattox.

The Whig.

We present The Wing this week to its
thousands of readers, enlarged, and, we
hope every one will agree with US in pro-
nouncing it, greatly improved. We have
the space now to make such paper as the
increasing population, intelligence and bust
ness of the county demand. The demand
for the paper, we doubt not, will increase
with the improvement. 1t has been our
constant effort to make The Wing county
and local newspaper, more particularly, than
a receptacle for the species of general news,
or news of the whole world, such as fills the
ponderous columns of the large dalies.-
Having much more space, we will be enabled
to furnish our readers with larger amount
of reading in all Observation-Disclosures,
Politics, Agriculture; County, State and
General news.
To all persons interested in business or
owning property in the county, such paper
is peculiarly valuable. Look at our col
umns. See the advertisements from week
to week, of goods, houses, lands, reports OF
the courts, locals, editorials, etc. You may
get larger amount of reading in the city
papers about foreign nations, markets OF the
world, and disasters by flood and fire; but
no city paper can furnish the information
about home affairs, which is found in 7he
Whiq. And however desirable and salts
factory it is to be conversant with whatever
is transporting all over this ever busy, bust
ling world, it is of infinitely more import
ance to learn what is going on at home,
within ones own county, and vitality affect
ing our own affairs.
No man properly appreciates or under.
stands his own business, who does not feel
an interest in the improvement and prosper
ity of his county paper. 1t is to the county
paper that the world looks for information
concerning the affairs of that particular To-
cality. The county paper is the barometer
of talent, determines wneuuvr ur s6a1r 'itsl
ard his wealth and expcnd his labor within
its borders. The county paper, when prop
erly conducted, is the mirror OF its wealth
its intelligence, its business and civilization
Every man who patronizes his county paper
is increasing his own wealth and prosperity
and advancing the blessings Of good neigh
horhood

The Democrat of last week tries to put

principle can't be bought and sold by the
dispensation of office, like the Democracy.
Hence we find those who, like the Blairs,
once professed Republican principles, and
followed Andy johnson for post. office, as

party by official and other influences, but
soon found themselves kicked out, and gray

Democrat firmly believes that the only diff.

Alpha and Omega of the party it swears by,
and outrages truth, justice and honor for
Nasty likens the Copperhead party to a wire
