Z. Z. z. Saves Life.
SAYS WILL LIVE FOREVER.

A prominent Savannahian, formerly
superintendent of a railroad, says: II
was crippled in my feet and arms so
that | could not walk without crutches,
nor eat without having a servant to
feed me. l tried physicians everywhere
but to no purpose, and finally went to
New York, where my doctors, at one
time, decided to amputate my arm, but
found that course lmpracticable, on
account Of a wound 1 had received
during the war. l returned to Savan-
nah a complete wreck, and my case
seemingly hopeless. AS forlorn hope
I began to take P. P. P, and am re-
ioiced to say that after using three
bottles, my limbs began to stralShten
ont. nv appetite and health soon re-
turned. and I now feel like new man;
really as if | had been made over again,
and as if could live forever-so long
as can get P. P. P"
This gentleman will not give bis
name for publication, but authorizes US
to refer anybody to him for verlflca-
ton of these facts, who will apply to
rs. Yours truly,

$1,000 Reward.

That is to say, that some evil minded
person, with malice aforethought, MA
liciouSly, feloniously and with intent
to injure US, did take, carry away
and appropriate, either voluntarily or
invoIuntarily, IAN umbrella, the property
of this editor, and we trust that bis
honesty, (that is the honesty Of the fel-
low who has it,) together with the
gnawing Of his conscience, will move
him to return the same, TO the editorial
room aforesaid. But if he does not re-
turn it, the above mentioned reward
sSill be paid for the capture OF the man
Who has our umbrella and a return of
the said umbrella, with proof to con-
Wet.
The last that we saw of the aforesaid
umbrella was on last Thursday morn
ing, when it mysteriously, and with
out our knowledge, disappeared from
our Sanctum.
May it be speedily restored to its
riyhlful owner.

Beauty is not luxury, as some

common heritage of the many. The
rich cannot mOnOpolize it the cultured
can lay no embargo upon it; persons of
taste cannot appropriate it to them
selves. There is in every human
breast a sense of responsiveness to the
beauty of the external world, and the
difference is only in the degree to
which that sense is developed and Gull
tivated.
The beads aud trinkets in which the
savage delights, the gay colors which
attract the infant, the fower-pot in
the window of the humblest cottage.
all testify that the love of beauty is
confined to no class, no age, and no
stage of civilization. 1t is a universal
hunger, and its cravings demand salts
faction as urgently in the cabin as on
the throne.
And yet this sense of beauty is too
often repressed and crushed instead of
being nOurished and educated as it
deserves. Amid the eager race for
money, for fame, for social position,

eagerly pushing forward to gain, the
beauty of life is frequently trodden
under foot, as carelessly as the wild
flowers of the field. 1t is deemed too
trifing thing to demand serious at
tentiOn, and is left to the chance of
circumstances to determine whether
natural desire shall be either gratified
or denied, cultivated or left to with
er.
Much happiness is thus lost out of
life, for the sense of beauty, well-min-
istered to, is a well-spring of pleasure.
1t is even more than this; it is a
fountain of life itself; it adds to the
fullness and energy, its refinement and
delicacy, its sweetness and purity.
The life from which it is ungraciousiy
pushed out, grows inevitably harder
aud rOugher, cOarser and colder; and
its influences over other minds deter
ates in the same way.
