The terrible scourge that is de
populating the South may bring
some compensation in inducing in
creased precaution for the future.
1t is clear that it is much easier to
prevent disease than to arrest the
progress of an epidemic. This
much has certainly been learnd.
And now that this IS the season for
malarial diseases, it seems a fitting
time for every one to take the lesson
of precaution home to themselves.
An epidemic has prevailed the past
Summer in Bristol Eng, of typhus
fever of very fatal tupe, which
has been traced to the fact
that the well from which water
was drawn to clean the milk vessels
of certain dairyman, was but a
few feet from a closet drain. Ty-
phoid- appeared in nearly every
family to which the milk was served
aud it was clearly traced to this
cause. In the light of such warn
ing every one in town or county
should see that every possibility OF
disease from bad drainage, the ex-
istence OF nuisances OF, other similar
causes be carefully guarded against.
Ill health, in the county especially,
is not unfrequently due to such I'M
suspected causes as in the instance
cited Salt Lake Tribune.

I thought thee cruel once. Jack Frost,
When ! was young and small:
You pinched my ear aud bit my toes
fon painted red my checks aud nose,
And Kept me close within the door,
And thus / deemed thee cl let Of foes
That could my youth besall.
I thought thee cruel once again,
When up 70 manhood grown;
sew thee eiothe tle earth in vhito,
When all chats far and pure and brighi
Was withered by the deadly blight,
Withered in ore short. luckless night,
Where'er thy breath had blown.
You nipped my buds and spoiled my vine.
And filled me With dismay;
An enemy called you then,

And. never TO return again,

But no. Jack Frost find at last

Without the beauty of thy grace,
With poisonous breath aud safffon face,
Bent on destruction to our race
And sorrows without end.

And meath his Rhsstly tread

Our brightest gems have lost their ray.
Tho young, the beautiful the gay,
Are vanished from our sight away
And numbered With the dead.
Come back, lack Frost. again come back
Thrice welcome TO each heart,
Stretch forth thy white aud .rozen waud
Bid suffering flee at thy command,
Give henlth and quiet 10 the land,
Come wrest his sceptor from his hand,
And lid the ehoul depart.

The Devil in Disguise.

The devil always goes masked.
When he attempts TO cast out an
evil spirit, he never attempts it as
a devil, but always puts on another
form--an angel of light, or assumes
the name of some good character.
When the sons of Sceva under
took to cast out an evil spirit, the
attempt was made in the name OF
Jesus, whom Paul preached. What
was the result? II turned out just
like a devilish effort would do
both parties were injured. But the
one that made the attack was in
jured the most-which lis always
the case. The devil never opposes
anything good as being good, but
gives it an evil name. He calls
Christ Beelzebub, and does not op.
pose him FOR a good work, but for
blasphemy--he being man, max
eth himself Il God He calls chris
tians hypocrites and false prophets.
When he attempted To destroy the
Democratic party, see how shrewd
he was. He comes bearing the IL
tie, INA ional- Greenback Labor
Friend of-Reformy etc" He claims
TO be the Savior of the nation. He
appears as an angel OF peace, oppos-
ing all that is evil. and binding the
people with fair promises-come
thou and go with me and will do
thee good; / am the Savior OF the
nation; get in my boat and i wills
land you on the ore of sweet de-
Iiverance. He gives the democrat
ic party an evil name that be may
oppose T. lie opposes good as evil.
He is fond of excitement He al
ways steps in the midst of excite
ment as Prince OF Peace-come
thou and follow me ard / will lead
YOU out of this difficulty; / will
make crooked things straight; / will
lead you in paths OF peace and
prosperity; We. will ali pass over
the river OF trouble, and rest under
the shade OF a greenback tree, every
leaf OF which is a hundred dollar
greenback bill.
Many in the excitement are led
astray; and when the excitement
dies, they find themselves in the
enemy's boat, floating down the
stream OF corruption 70 destruction
and ruin Beware. We lovers Of
liberty. beware! Let not the devil
deceive you. r. j. o.

Bro. Gru5bs of the Decatur News
has been very severely criticised by
the press for leaving his drug store
