PROFANITY.

One of the most common, and yet
most disgusting vice Of the day, is tho
use of profane language. The Good
Book says:
"What comes out of the mouth de-
filcth man" Then some men are terri
bly, defiled within. Some love to hear
themselves talk, and are yet SO barren of
ideas that they try to render emphatic
their commonplace utterance by sense
less oaths in every sentence they utter.
Few profane swearers have an idea of
the terrible nature of their sins, or of its
effects upon themselves. If the conse-
quences of this terrible vice only result
ed in the intense disgust of those who
are unwillingly forced to hear it, the
sin would not be so dangerous but
when the influence of the swearer's oaths
is considered, in the effect of this heart
hardening sin of blasphemy upon the
swearer himself, the matter becomes of
terrible importance and deeply alarming.
In the assumption of the power of God,
in damning his own soul, the swearer
commits the sin of blasphomy, the most
blighsing to the soul of any of the sins
prescribed in the word of God. From a
moral and social point of view, it is a
low, vulgar, and Senseless habit, that no
one with particle of respect for himself
or others should engage in.-Dr. HiH.

TAKING SIDES. There is DISPOSE
ton among US to take Sit es in the Euro
pean war, and it is growing stronger
every day. It was some contingency
as this that Washington must have for
seen when he wrote, in the farewell ad-
dress 4:
"Nothirg is more essential than per-
mancnt, inveterate antipathies against
particular nations and passionate attach
ment for others should be excluded, and
that in place of them just and amiable
feelings toward all should be cultivated.
The nations which INDUCES toward
another an habitual fondncss is, in some
degree, slave. 1t is slave to its ami
mostly or to its affection, either of which
is sufficient to lead it astray from its
duties and its interests. The nation
prompted by ill-will and resentment,
sometimes impcls to var the government
contrary to the best calculations OF
policy"

COUGHING BULLET OUT OF HIS
HEAD. The Greenvillc, South Carolina
Mountaincer chronicles singular case.
Mr.. William Beattie, young gentle
man of that town, was shot in the eye
during the war, the bullet lodging in his
head~iternal!y. The most eminent
surgical skill failed to extract this ball,
and Mr.. Beattie has from time to time
suffered much from it, A few nights
Of Of coughing, during which he felt some
thing fall into his mouth: 1t proved to
be the bullet which had been hidden in
his head five or six years. This bullet
weighing half an once, had worked slow
" into the channel of the larynx, and
the conyulsive effort coughing releasing
its hold, it fell, by its own gravity,
through the said channel.

sEAsoNABLE ADVICE.

The heat especially out of the shade
is intense. How to avoid prostration by
such weather is trite, but if the telling
of an old story saves the life mitigates the
suffering of one individual, it is worth
while to tell it. Therefore we say that
while this very warm weather prevails,
do not be in a hurry about anything. but
walk, eat, drink and work slowly. Keep
in the shade as much as possible. Pa
tronizo iccwater sparingly, likewise
animal food, SubSist upon the rich,
ripe, sound fruits of the season. Battle
with moderation do not remain in the wa
ter longer than ten minutes. Wear
light clothing we mean light in weight,
but maintain worstcd or flannel under
garments. Do not get angry anger is
a dangerous passion when the mercury
has risen above degrees. Do not fret.
Avoid worry and anxiety. Sleep at least
eight hours out of every twenty-four,
and let the hours for sleep be selected
from the earl y part of the night. Above
all, avoid Intoxicating beverages. They
are no use at this season, even when
swallowed tcmperately ; they are DANA
ging in the extreme, if taking in cxtrcm-
Iy warm weather immodcrately. A
couple of drinks of ardent spirits will
prcdispose anybody, the hard working
man especially, to sun-stroke, apoplexy
or syncope. Be temperate in ali things,
good -natured chaste, and fear not.

CHE MARsEILLAISE"-A UNIVERSAL

L HE AlAhSEil4lsAIoE n - NJ A>IeiNA'<Ai
PowER.-Some writer says;
The "Marseilaise" will soon lore its
local and original significance, in becom-
ing the universal hymn Of revolution.-
1t is no longer the national strain Sol
France-the hymn Of liberty-it is the
shrek of war itself, the murmur of gath
ering and impassioned legions. Wher-
ever it has been sung, contending gan
non have, ere long, Numbered IL its
chorus. Therais blood in every har,
and battle in every note. 1t reused the
to revolution it gathered
the Italians, and it was the first cry of
the "lost cause" Il is heard now in the
palace of Napoleon, and is echoed along
the Pyrennees and over the greeRsIields
of ireland. Glorious and almost inspir-
ed though it be, there is something
dreadful in its sound. We hear it in the
wall of the oppressed, the diapason of
avenging curses, the rush to arms, the
howl Of battle and the Shrek Of victory
all combined in one agony Of song"

REPORT OF BOARD OF VISITORS OF
THE EXAMINATION EXERCISES OF
THE MARIETTA FEMALE COLLEGE.


The undersigned were, at the polite
invitation of President Rogers, in at
tendance upon the recent examination
Of the pupils and other exercises con-
nected with the commencement of the
Marietta Female College. And we take
pleasure in presenting to the community
the following report
The examination commenced with the
pupils of the Primary Department,
Wednesday morning, the goth Of July.
Thursday and Friday mornings were de-
voted to the examination of the Colleg-
Mte Department.
The exercises were arranged and con-
Quoted in due order, and with marked
propriety. The literary exercises were
at intervals, relieved by the introduction
of vocal and instrumental music. The
pupils were treated with strict imparti
atty, and each one had ample opportu-
nifty to exhibit her knowledge of the sub
iect in hand, and were highly pleased at
the result All the classes did we'll
some of them remarkably well-showing
the skill and fidelity of the teachers, and
the application and industry of the pupils.
In Astronomy, Moral Philosophy and
Plain Trigonomitry; the graduating
class showed the results of sound instruc-
ton and studious application.
A thorough understanding of the Text
Books used, is essential to good scholar
ship. And we cannot avoid expressing
our high appreciation of the diligent care
and assidious labor of President Rogers
and his assistants, in bringing up their
pupils to the standard of strict accuracy.
The tinsel and the glitter, which are
made prominent on some such occasions,
are only the fascinating, yet fading,
colors of the rainbow, painted on a cloud.
The age demands for our daug htcrs, as
well as our sons, high intellectual culture
and sound moral training. And we cor
daily commend the corps of Teachers of
the Marietta Female College for their
successful efforts in accomplishing, SO far,
and under somewhat embarrassing cir
cumstances, such result,
The commencement Sermon was
preached on Sunday the Oath, by Rev.
David Wills, D. d., of Macon, Ga.
The Sermon was founded on John vi
oh. 6, T and IS Verses. The Doctor de-
waited from the usual plan on such occa-
sions-his Sermon was not mere liter
airy lecture-adorned with all the flowers
of Rhetoric and Oratory-but it was a
direct emphatic-clear-powerfulex hi-
bition of Gospel truth-while it appealed
strongly to the intellect and commanded
the admiration of his hearers it went
to their hearts and stirred them to their
deepest depths,

A Romantic INCIDENT OF THE WAR

A ROMANTIC INCIDENT OF THE WAR.
In the blooming, beautiful, balmy
May of 1868, one of those dread battle
stained years never to be forgotten,
Gen. TiIgham fell shot dead at the bat
tie of Champion Hill, CALAMITY strug-
Cling in defence of cherished principles.
Ills noble life ebbcd away upon the spot
where he fell and the sad earth drank
his blood with greedy thirstiness. But
upon that immediate spot grew peach
tree that reached maturity while its
roots stepped themselves ip themartyr's
blood. Singular to relate,> the leaves
and fruit of this tree are a blood red
color. The tree was transplanted and
is now in the orchard of DR.. John L.
Hebron, of this county. The propaga-
tons form the same peculiar color
ThdAe is certainly something remarkable
about this. We have seen the leaves,
and must confess that they do look and
even Ito us) smell of blood. The fact
can be witnessed by those taking the
the trouble VickSbuwg Herald.

where large quantities of olives were decay
ing under the trees. lie asked them why
they did not gather them. Their reply was,
'This is government monopoly and it has
It's own agents and will pay US little or moth
ing for wOrk," thence all went to waste.
This is the condition of education i'm Louis
lana and other States. The State squanders
millions of dollars, yet not one-fourth of
even the white children attend school. In
dividuals will not put their time and money
into this business when they can make TWEEN
ty times as much by any other business-as
will be the case while the State makes il a
political monopoly, without which we would
have ample schools for ALL CLASS rs in the
State, and not q cent of tax to sustain them.
But let me ask what has youEboasted public
school system produced where it has had en-
! tire control for more than half century
and has had untold millions of dollars
| gathered from the people? 1t has simply
| created treadmill of thought-all to follow
| one idea-and that of fanaticism, so that
when the political bugle sounds all must
shout, even TO make a saint out of vulgar
midnight assassin and sing peans over one
who formed his plans and his so-called cab
met on foreign soil for the avowed purpose
| ofoverthrowing the United States Govern
ment, and even seized the munitions of war
that he might plumber and murder.
But he worked in the treadmill of fanati-
! cism-and surely when one-fourth of the
people of the United States are pQuperS and
| criminals, (the result of your boosted school
systena) the spirit OF John Broom is marching
on," and it now requires thousand police
men and a million of dollars to watch it in
this city alone.
| Ii THINKING MEN, North and South
merchants, planters, or those from any class
of industry-had had the control of matters
from 1850 TO 1870 there would have been 10
war-and millions of lives, and thousands oil
millions of property would have been saved
| to the country.

Ever since the emancipation of the
blacks in the West India Islands, and the
experiment of selfgovernment which fol-
lowed, they have been the scene of con-
slant sttife and devastating wars among
the followers of the petty chiefs. Be
side, their agriculture has been almost
entirely destroyed. In Jamaica, after a
long trial of self-government by the pop
ulation, the British government has re-
sumed its control over the island By
the latest advices from the French colony
of Martinique, we observe that portion
of the blacks have revolted against the
constituted authorities, and many planta-
tions have been sacked by the insurgents.
In the Southern States of the Ameri-
can Union, it will not be questioned that
the Mongrel governments have utterly
failed in consequence of corruption and
incompetency but it is due to the ne
groes to say that more of the responsible
ity for the failure belongs to the selfish
and deprayed white men by whom they
have been guided, than to them

A Republican paper in speaking of the
death of Gen'l Robert f. Lee, says,
"when he was at the head of the so-called
army of Northern Virginia" What
next? Will it be be so-called defeat of
the Federals at Bull Run? A so-called
surrender at Appomatox Court Housed,
Or so-called war! &%
That so-called army did more fighting
and more marching, and won more victo-
ries and killed more of its opponents for
its numerical strength, and surrendered
fewer survivors, than any other army
| (so-called or not so-called,) the world
ever saw. And the records of it as well
as that of the army of the Potomac, both
of which are now in Washington City,
will prove the assertion.

The Late Elections.

The Lexington Advertiser is surprised
that THE CLARION has made no express
sion as to the aesults of the last elections.
We have already expressed an opinion,
but if the Advertiser desires us to reiter-
ate it we will repeat we are
very well satisfied, if we do as well
in November, the Democrats will have
working majority in the Lower House of
Congress. The Washington Chronicle
RADICAL admits gain to the Democrats
of seven members, which taken from the
Republican and added to the Democratic
vote, makes a difference of fourteen in
our favor. Besides these gains,
Indiana has been redeemed from Repub-
lican rule. Her Legislature is Democratic,
and therefore we are very well satisfied.
The elections show plainly that the Dem
ocrats are steadily gaining ground. Has
the Advertiser seen the New Orleans
Republican? 1t admits gain to the
Democrats in Congress of sixteen since
September, which makes change of
thirty-two in the vote.

STRANGE. correspondent informs
us that the sheriff of Leake county has
been tied by the neck with his own bril-
die to the feet of his safe and robbed of
fifteen hundred dollars which belonged to
the county.
1t is strange that so many loyal money
holders are robbed, and are always found
to have escaped without bodily harm.
They are unsafe men to trust the funds OF
counties or States with, for they never
make any resistance or noise when the
robbers come.
