OUR DOUBLE NATURE,

Two lives tn meanest ofus live;
One which the world beholds, and one
Whose hidden history none may give
But he who lives it; he alone
Its wondrous extacies can know,
It's ever changing streams of thought, -.
It's deep unutterable woe,
Its visions bright and heaven fraught.
He DER its secret sins may groan.
And blush to hear the common praise
Fl OF actions which, if rightly shown,
Could only loudest censure raise. la,-f
He DER its noblest may rejoice,
Though none the virtues can behold; W ~
For acts that win the common voice =ss 81.
Demand blazonment of gold.
And so with full potential power
For yilest sins or purest deeds, J .E
We pass through life and win a dover
OF min gled praise and blame, that needs
A ulster judge the scales to hold
Than e'er on earth weighs cause and deed.
Ourselves and God alone behold
The motives which to actions lead. ''
And thus we gather fame and shame,
Alike unearned-alike untrue;
Receiving praise WI here men should blame,
And blame where praise is rightly due.

TRIBUTE TO A CoLoRED MAN.-There has
been prepared at the marble works in Lynch
burg a neat tombstone, bearing the follow
ing inscription
"This stone is erected by the white people
of Salem, Virginia, in honor of George
Washington Thomas, who died July 7, 1869,
aged thirty three years. An honest, indus
trious colored man, who, in the day Of Vir-
ginia's greatest trial, was willing to join
hands with his white neighbors in the bond
of mutual friendship and sympathy" G
AT the head of the stone are the words /:
s'Peace to his ashes" and just below a pair
of clasped hands, This, says the Netos, is
an appropriate testimonial to the memory OF
true, independent colored man, who dared
to vote the whole Conservative ticket at the
late election, and who, unfortunately, died
suddenly on the day following. Whilst
living, he was not afraid to proclaim his
friendship for his white friends, and over his
cold, dead body they are willing to do him
honor. ~ re i-

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

CARBoL1c ACID AND IT'S VIRTUES.
friend in Paris encloses to US an article cut
from one of the French papers of that city on
the curative powers of carbolic acid, (phenoD
from which one would almost think that a
universal remedy had at last been found. 1t
begins by pointing out the danger of confu
sion between acide phenique and phenol-
the former of which is a deadly poison, while
the latter is quite harmless. We tranlate
"Phenol is a compound of acide aohenique
and soda. The first of these two substances is
poisonous in the highest degree, but their
union constitutes salt enjoying all the ben
efieent properties which picnic acid posses
ses theoretically, without having any of the
injurious properties which practically should
exclude it from all medication. 1t is to an
analogous constitution that sulphate of qui-
nine owes. its virtues, while sulphuric acid
and quinine cannot be separately employed"
After reciting number of rapid cures of
serious woundssssburns, &C., by the use of
carbolic acid (phsmoz,) and the value of the
same agent as disinfectant on ship-board,
in the sick room, and wherever epidemics
are feared, some of its uses for agricultural
purposes are referred to- 1t has been found
to clear outlice in poultry-for which rem
edy has been so often asked-very effectual-
ly, for which purpose the poultry house is
washed with dilution Of it, the straw in the
nests dipped in the same, and little put
into the water from which the fowls drink.
Those who first tested it in this way were
led to try it for diseases and hurts of stock,
such as ulcers, eruptions, crack, quittor,
itch, mango, cattle typhus, and so on-and,
as. we are told, with the greatest possible
success It is for the merits it is said to
possess in these respects that we bring the
subject to the notice of our readers.
These merits are said to be owing-frst,
to the fact that it SO promptly closes Qies app
and consolidates. (sozders) the pores, and
thus intercepts the action Of the air as efec-
lively as can be done by collodion and sec

Cur Orr Your CHAIR LEGs.-I will tell
you a secret worth knowing, A thousand
things not worth half as much have been
patented and elevated into business. It is
this: If you cut off the back legs Of your chair
50 that the back part Of the seat shall
be two inches lower than the front part, it
will greatly relieve the fatigue Of sitting,
and keep your spine in amuch better shape
The principal fatigue in sitting comes from
your sliding forward and thus straining the
iigaments and muscles in the small of the
back. The expedient have advised will
obviate this tendency, and, as I have sug-
gested, add greatly to the comfort and
healthiness of the sitting posture. The front
edge of the chair should not be more than
fifteen inches high for the average man, not
more than fourteen for the average woman.
The average chair is now seventeen inches
for all, which no amount of slanting in the
scat can make comfortable. Lecis Gym

L1EE.-Life is short: The poor pittance of
seventy years is not worth being villain
for, What matters it if your neighbor lies
in a splendid tomb? Sleep you with limo
cence. Look behind you through the tract
of time, a vast desert lies upon the retrospect;
through this desert have your fathers jour
neyed on, until wearied with years and sor-
sows, they sunk from the walks Of man.
You must leave them where they fell, and
you are to 60 little further, where you will
have eternal rest. Whatever you may have
to encounter between the cradle and the
grave, every moment is big with innumera-
BILE events, which come not in low success
sion, but bursting forcibly from rovolting
and unknown cause, fly over this orb with
diversified influence. s1Io 8seH

ACCOUNTED Foa.-Two weeks ago we
stated that the assessed value of taxable
property in Liun county, for the year
1858, was half a million less than for the
year 1867 The reason for this, as we
learn from those who are fully informed
on the matter, is that it was found that
property in Iinn was assessed at much
higher rate than any other county in the
State that under the high rate Of assess
ment in 1867 we paid into the State
treasury over $500 more than any other
county in the State during that year
Therefore the rate OF assessment was
10 'ered. Unimproved property, assessed
at $50 per acre in 81, in '68 was assess
q / at SO aud S12, thus decreasing the
,m total of valuation half million.
P.operty has undoubtedly largely increas-
e. in value since 1867, but the assess
ments have been lowered to correspond
with those of other counties.
