Vaccination.

In the present epidemic of smallpox,
which is ravagirg so many of our cit
les, it will no doubt relieve the minds
of many to see the following authori-
tive opinion of Dr. George B. Wood,
the venerable Emeritus Professor of
the Theory and Practice of Medicine
in the University ofPennsylvanis,
Though vaccination, once perform
ed, very often fails of affording COM
plete protection against smallpox, yet
it almost always modiies it Partlys
rendering it comparatively mild and
safe disease. The
complaint, as it occurs after Vaccina-
ton, is very seldom fatal, and in the
vast majority of instances, leaves no
unpleasant traces behind it. Though
the cases of varioloid, or secondary
smallpox, are proportionally less fre-
quent than those which folloWyaceina-
ton, yet they are not only proportion
ally, but in the aggregate, more fatal.
OF 24S cases of natural
and modified smallpox noticed by DFs.
Bell and Mitchell of Philadelphia, 64
ere aftrr vaccination with but one
death and 16 were after inoculated, or
natural smallpox with six deaths. In
the course of my practice, though |
have seen much of the disease, have
lost but one patient after vaccinations
and in that instance death occurred,
not from the violence of the -yarioloid
diseases, which was mild, but from the
supervention of Inflammation of the
brain, consequent on the peculiar state
of the patients constitution at the
time. Thus, it appears that, if the pro-
lection afforded by vaccination is not
perfect, it is yet superior to any other.
But, whatever may be
the cause, the fact is certain, that one
vaccination fails to afford security
against modified form of smallpox
in very many cases; and, though the
resulting affection may be in general
neither fatal nor deformiEg,yet It is in-
convenient, and may become the
source of further spreading of the
disease, and in some cases is very dan
gerous. 1t is important to find rem
edy for these evils; and happily such a
remedy is afforded in re-vaeeination." :"

ReautifnI AIIeporr.

Mr. Crittenden, of Kentucky, was at
one time defending a man who had
been indicted for capital offense.-
After an elaborate and powerful de-
fense he recited the following beauti-
ful allegory:
When God, in His eternal council,
conceived the thought of mans crea-
tion, he called up to him the three
prime ministers-Justice, Truth and
Mercy, and thus addressed them ::
',Shan we make man ?'' Then said
Justice: so, God, make him not, for
he will trample upon the laws."-
Truth made an answer, also 90,
G., d, make him not, for he will pollute
the sanctuaries." But Mercy, drop
ping upon her knees, exclaimed: 30,
God, make him; viii watch over
him with my care through the dark
paths winch he will have to tresd."
Then God made man and said TO
him: 80, man, thou art the child OF
Mercy go and deal with thy brother"
The jury, when he had finished,
were drowned in tears, and against
evidence, and what must have been
their own convictions, brought in .
verdict of not guilty.

universally, with the sanction of re-
ligion. In Protestant countries and
in church fairs for pious purposes, this
vice is still practiced to frightful ex-
tent. This is largely owing to the
fact that the female mind does not ap-
prehend the reason of the wrong If
a fair for the benefit of a church or
school or the poor is set on foot, the
minister and the intellight men of the
congregation readily see that lotter-
les, being prohibited by the laws of
the State, and on sound principles of
public morals. ought not to be allowed
in the fair. But women will not see
it, and will not submit to it, and will
have the lottery. Even if the lottery
is prohibited, they will surreptitiously
introduce the system under some 9th
er name, and dispose of their fancy
work by the principle of gambling -

HONOR AND HONESTY.

The word honor is the same in the
old Latin with honest in English. For
there was time, strange as it may
seem, v hen to be dishonest was to be
dishonorable, and he who defrauded
his neighbor was unable to hold up
his head among gentlemen. Yet this
very week the question is under dis.
cussion in one of the most exclusive
clubs of our city, whether men whom
the city has pronounced dishonest,
shall still be permitted to remain as
the associates and equals of men of
honor. To such depth of degrade
ton has the public sense of honor and
honesty sunk. The time was when
Mr.. Burke spoke of ''that chastity of
honor which felt stain like q wound -
but that time has gone by, and there
is no such sentiment in England
France, or tie United States of the
present day In the days of George
Washington there was u chivalry ot
virtue that would have resented as al
insult the faintest imputation of prac-
tees such as public officers are charg
ed with now, and they do not think il
of the slightest importance to deny OF
to extenuate the facts. Dishonesty i!
not as it once was, dishonorable.
The Governor of one of our State,
said to a high official with whom h
was in controversy, 81 believe you are
the greatest scoundrel in the State
To which the man replied: Well
that need not interfere with our socia
relations"
Dishonesty does not disturb the so
cial relations of life. as it would j
; there were higher sense of honor i
tue public mind and conscience.

A MEAN MAXIM

The maxim that comes from Ger
vantes in Don Quixote, Honesty is
the best policy" is doubtless true;
but it is very meen and unworthy in
ducement to do right. He who is
honest because it is the best policy. or
because it is for bis interest to be so,
would steal or swindle if he thought
it would pay Policy is no basis of
integrity. And the maxim has, doubt
less, been useful in this commercial
age. For it is better that men should
be honest from a low motive. than not
to be honest at al.

SMUGGLING,

The custom house is an institution
which many hope Christianity of an
other generation will utterly abolish
but while it exists as part of the I,o
litical economy under which we live,
to defraud the customs is just as
wicked as to swindle ones neighbor
The temptation is strong to smu ggle,
and false swearing abounds where
goods are subjected to the duties of
Importation. But it is not right-it is
positive wrong-to conceal the truth
or to make an erroneous representa-
ton regarding the nature or value of

am not sufficiently acquainted with
the nature of those operations in stock,
which are called speculative, and which
are spoken of as gambling, to make
any remarks regarding them. Buying
and selling stock, or gold, on change
or in the street, is just as legitimate
and may be done with as much integ
rity and propriety, as any other spe-
cies of property. But into whatever
transaction there enters the element
of mere chance-the principle of
gambling-there is dishonestY and
that practice is in itself wrong, and in
its consequences demoralizing To
seek the property of another without
giving him an equivs lent, is to rob
him. To put money on the hazard
of die, or in rattle, or a game OF
cards, or in lottery, is profane and
wicked. All civilized countries have
come to recognize gambling by lot

people of Giles and surrounding
counties, shall take an active inter
est in the Exposition to be held at
Antoinette Hall, Pnlasli, on the
Sd, 4th and 9Th days Of August
next. We tender a free admission
to all persons that may honor the
occasion with their presence, and
all articles contributed for cxhibi-
ton will be admitted free. Our sole
object is to. encourage the culture
Of Flowers, Fruits, Grapes and all
yssieties of vegetables, and to in
duce the preservation of the same
as FAR as practicable in solid or IL
guild form for food, Aside from the
question OF remuaeyativo profits,
medical science has dem onstrated
that many Of the diseases that az
hict mankind are nyoiled by the
free use Of fruits end vegetables.
and that the more these are used
the less will be the consumption OF
"gesh-fOod," that fruitful source Of
feYers IN our 5cltmate. Fruits are
the earliest recorded articles of hui
man food, and vinicuIture has been
favored in all ages and climates
where the grape viii grow. We
are OF opinion that Giles is the very
Eden - fruits, flowers and vegeta-
bles, and when submitted to pro-
per culture, will equal if not sur,
pass all other regions in their pro-
ductfon.
Where eaa the apple, peach, pear,
grape and smaller fruits be found
in greater perfection than here2-
Where does the earth yield more
abundant and nutritious vegetation
IN all its multiform kinds than here?
or the flower bloom to richer fra

Then ladies' and gentlemen come
to the Exposition and bring your
fruits, flowers vegetables, &c,
whether they grow upon vines or
stalk whether they mature below
or above the surface, whether they
are In the green or prepared state,
whether in solids or liquids. We
