CHARLESTON, S. c.. 1865.
I certify that | have most successfully used
RussELI'S Soothing Cordial in the Summer Com
plants of infants. He has fully exhibited the in
rredents OF his remedy, and the tedious method
OF preparation. | recognize the prescription
containing no anOdyne whatever-as a most safe
and etficacous one in bowel affections Of children.
When much pain or restlessness attends the aifec-
ton, doses of ParegOrlc can he added 10 the pre-
scribed doses of the Cordial according to the age
of the patient. The compound, though more
Often acts in an efficient manner without any ad-
ditiOn OF anOdyne.
In the Darrhna OF the aged, IN increased doses,
il is of great value as i remedy; never disagree
inp with the stomach-increasing appetite, inl-
proving Digestion and acting as slow but ei1l-
cient astringent agent. ,,,,.,,

WHAT DICTNE
YOU TAKE.

When vou are exhausted by overwork OF head
or hand, and feel the need OF ofsomething invigorat-
ing, don't drink whiskey or any intoxicating
thing, whether under the name OF Bitters or other
WISE Such articles give Just as much strength
to your weary body and mind as the whip gives
to the jaded horse, and no more. Alcoholic stim
uants are Injurious to nerve health and are al
ways followed by depressing reaction.

WIDOW COBB'S FIRST LOVE.

The fire cracked cheerfulE on the broad hearth
Of the old farm house kitchen, q cat and three Kit
tens basked In the warmth, and decrepit yellow
dog lying full in the reflection of the yellow blaze,
wr;nkled his black nose approvingly as be turned
his hind feet where his fore feet had been. Over
the chimney hung several fine hams and pieces Of
dried beef Apples were festooned along the cell
ING, and crooked necked squashes We'd with red
peppers and slips Of dried pumpkin, in garnishing
each window frame. There were plants, toe, ON
The window ledges-horse shoe geraniums and dew
plants and monthly rose just budding, to say
nothing of pots Of yiolets that perumed the whole
place whenever they took it in their purple heads
tobloom. The floor was carefully swept, thechairs
had not speck Of dust upon leg or round, the
long settee near the fire place shone as if it had
inst been newly vanished and the eight day clock
in the corner had it's face newly washed and seemed
determined 10 tick the louder for it. Two arm
chairs were drawn up at a oozy distance from the
hearth and from each other; candle, nevspa-
per, pair Of spectscles dish of red checked ap-
Dies, and pitcher of cider filed little table be-

EFFECT OF TOBACCO ON BoYs.-Dr. Decaisne,
while engaged in investigating the influence of to-
baeco on the circulatory system, had his attention
allied to the large number Of boys between the
ages of nine and fifteen years who were addicted
to smoking. Ofthiry eight boys who smoked,
twenty-seven showed distinct symptoms Of disease.
Thirty-two had various disorders OF circulation !;
huat de sou67e in the neck, disordered digestion,
palpitaton, slowness of intellect and more or less
taste for strong drink. Eight showed diminu-
ton Of the red corpuscles Of the blood three had
intermittent pulse; twelve had frequent epitaxis;
ten disordered sleep; and four liberation Of the
mucous membrane Of the mouth. Z ..-

q PERIOD OF THE GROWTH OF MAN.-Prof B.
A. Gould, from statistics derived from the register
of 2, SOC, 900 men in the United States army, has
brought out the fact that men attain their maxi
mum stature much later than is generally sup
posed. This takes place at twenty-nine or thirty
years of age; butthe are frequent instances OF
growth until thirty-iye, not very. noticeable a
yearly gain ofa tenth Of an inch perhaps, still a
growth. After thirty.fve the stature. subsidies in
similar proportion, partly, perhaps, from the con-
densaion of the cartilages, partly because Of the
change in the ancle of the hip bone. The age for
maximum stature comes earliest to the tallest men,
as if it were the necessity Of unusual develope-
ment. Foreigners were shorter than men Of ma
tive birth. The heights Of men seemed to depend
on the place ofenlistment A Massachusetts, man
enlistng in Iowa was an inch taller than if he had
stayed at home, As we go West men grow taller.
Out of one million there were five hundred who
measured more than six feet four inches /; but men
of such stature do not wear well In Maine men
reach their greatest height at twenty-seven; in
New Hampshire at thirB-fve; in Massachusetts, at
thirty-one. The tallest man, Of sixtynine inches,
came from Iowa. Maine, Vermont, Ohio, India
IA, Minnesota, and Missouri give Us men Of little
over sixty-eight inches; and the average Of all
shows the Americans to be very tall people.

Z, No lessons leaye mora abiding impression than
those which gently drop into the mind at the fre
side. No fun is more tekingi OF, leaseshehind i
less to regret. No history j., purer, as p whole
than fresde history, and nene lives longer ormpee
lovingly in remembrance. He who cannot look
forward with ysasnine dasipas to- 6nsside enjoy
ments asthe staple enjoyments Of his Life is great
" to be blamed; for the freside has its duties to
be done, as well as its pleasures to be realized
Those who make light of its sanctiies, OF who rise
.upin rebellion against its spirit orswho gvaatans

fdence with suspicion, or who introduce jealouGes
within that charmed circle, or who prpdspe is bg
aught that sagors of selfish despetisu, break the
spen which enyirons it, and forfeit IT'D rewards--
It should be the altar to which we bring our daily
saGifces--the turtle doves and young pigeons Of
home-Ife- offer them to the genius Of domestic
unity. There is no piace where xeaemore bound
to mind the things of others as our own, or more
gracefully display affection in triaes or can with
more profit study to please others than ourselVes
Forgetfulness Of freside duties indicates, to say
the least, adefcienCy of disinterested love. A
man cannot be truly Judged by what hedoes before
the world. All manner of selfish motives may
urge him to wear in that broad theatre the dress
of sanctity, or courage, or courtesy or patience, or
oopaderateness, ''that he may be seen lof;men." u

The native Virginian. [volume] (Orange Court House, Va.) 1867-187?, 1869-05-28
JsE, VA. FRIDAY MORNING MAY 28, 1869.

City than any other in America, except
New Orleans, and the death rate of
Utah is only exceeded by that of Louis
lana. The Mormons have greatly ex-
aggerated the population of this place,
which really contains little less than
LOCO souls, and in this small number
the sections report for October last, the
healthiest month in the year, gives the
interments at sixty, of which forty -four
were children. Last year was unusu-
ally healthy, and yet :he death rate ex-
eeeds that OF any other State or Terri
tory west OF the Mississippi. The Nor
mons explain this by saying that their
people are generally poor and exposed
to hardships, but much of that poverty
is directly traceable to their religion.
Another sad fact is the general neglect
to medical care, or rather \ general
tendency to run to wild and absurd
schemes of doctoring. They claim that
''laying on of hands and the prayer of
faith' will heal the sick, and yet no
people within my knowledge are SO
given to "rhomsonianism," ''steam
doctoring," "yarb medicine" and eve
ry other irregular mode OF treating the
sick. But few days ago three young
children died III the Seventeenth Ward
