MAKE ME A SONG. Out of the silences make mc a song, Beautiful, sad and soft and low ; Let the loneliest music sound along And wing each note with a wail of woe, Dim and drear As hope's last tear. Out of the silences make mo a hymn, Whose sounds are shadows soft and dim. Out of the stillnesses id your heart? A thousand songs are sloeping there ? Make 111c but one, thou child of nrt. The song of a hope in last a despair, Dark and low, A chant of woo, Out of the stillnesses, tone by tone, Soft as a snowtlake, wild as a moan. Out of the darknesses flash mc a song, Brightly dark aud darkly bright ; Let it sweep as a lone star sweeps along The mystical shadows of the night ; Sing it sweet, Where nothing is drear, or dark, or dim, And earth-soncs tnelt into Heaven's hvmns. [/'rtf/tw Ryan. Sick Headache.?The true cause of sick headache lies deep in the patient's idiosyncrasy, and is developed by a hundred different causes. The advice, then, to sufferers ii to give as much tone to their nerves by adopting all those methods which experience has shown to be good, and then avoid, so far- as 'practicable, all those causes which are known to excite an attack. A writer in an old reliable British Medical Journal says: ' 1 need scarcely describe a sick headache ?how one rises in the morning more dead than alive; perfectly unable to swallow the smallest particle of food, and often perhaps actually sick; how the head throbs, and the pain is increased by the slightest movements ; how one prays to be left alone in the utmost quiet, so that he may. if possible, sleep. To other persons the sufferer (links ovtrioimlV ill von- tvili? rl-irlr ni-niin.l the eyes, and with contracted pupil. To himself his head leels hot. and the application of cold most refreshing. The clamminess in the mouth, the nausea, and general gastaic disturbances arc secondary, and have no connection with an improper meal, aud thus arc in no way relieved by the too frequent and ignorantly administered purgative. This is not needed, and has no good result. The only remedies which are of any avail are those which act on the nervous system, such as hot tea and coffee ; or, after the stomach is quieter, and the more urgent symptoms have passed off, a little wiue or ammonia. If the headache takes more tiie form of hctiticrania, then remedies are occasionally useful, as the local application of the bisulphide of carbon, or galvanism, and internally the bromide of pntassuui. This is the only drug that I have seer to be really serviceable. While nausea exists and the worst symptoms prevail even this remedy is of no avail." - Cuke of St'inati Disease.?''Thank Clod, the days of humpback arc ended," said Dr. Say re, at a recent meeting of th# l ?i. ..c >i.~ i. m .it ? i \>ui rv UIUUVJII ui IIIU im lllMi .'U'UlCill /1SSC/C1* ation. llis method of treatment of spinal diseases is to give complete and continued rest day and night at the point where the inflammation exists ; perfect freedom from compression, and at the same time absolute immobility, so enabling consolidation to take place. Ilis process involves temporary I suspension of the patient in a peculiar apparatus by which the weight of the head i and shoulders is taken off the *pine, and the application of a skin-lit ting shirt, coated over with plaster-of-Paris. A sufficient vacuum for the patient's food is sec ft red by laying a cotton pad or India rubber hag beneath the shirt, over the stomach, until the outer case is hardened, after which it may ho removed. Dr. Sayre exhibited a patient, a young man oi' nineteen, who had suffered from an angular curvature cf the spine, the angle of this curvature being about 130 degrees, and was only able to move about by putting his hands on his knees or catching at-the furniture. After bixSvccks treatment the patient was perfectly erect and had gained three quarters of an inch in height; he had taken, unassisted, a walk of four miles, and the hone was rapidly developing. In the case of another sufferer, a little hoy of seven, affected with curvature of the lumbar vertebra;, marked benefit had followed a verybrief treatment.?Ex. Givk Tiik Fowls Pukk Watku.?The careless way in which fowls are ordinarily provided with drinking water on farms throughout the country is undoubtedly the cause of some of the diseases which have proved so destructive. How often do we find a flock of valuable birds, birds that their owner has expended considerable money in improving, obliged to drink the dirty unwholesome water of drains and the pools standing in the barnyard, or the water of melted snow ! There is nothing worse for them, yet how few farmers appreciate the fact. Again, while many provide drinking vessels in their henneries, and fill them when they are emptied, they do not realize that, alter cold water has stood for several hours in the midst of the odors so prevalent in even the best managed coops, it absorbs the vife gascs'and becomes so polluted that it is unfit to dri.ik. Let any one turn out a vessel of water f.lmt. li:i? utftnrl i wont tr.fini r> lt.mrc in * .v ..... .? ... .. ..v..ery, and while it is flowing take a sniff of it; if' lie can wonder wliy the liens refuse to drink it until they arc very thirsty indeed, his sense of smell is a weak one. The drinking vessels for fowls ought to be cleaned and filled at nioruing and early afternoon. We have often seen fowls stand about a newly replenished water vessel in the afternoon and drink copiously when they have, five minutes previously, refused water that had been standing.?M<i>mochusttts num. .? Cross-ties?Married couples vrbo do not agree well together. ' to *Vv'* . .. I HALF-PAST 10 O'CLOCK, AND ALL IS WELL. [ Such arc the words that come from thfj watchman iu the tower to-night. Froni&for standpoint it may be so ; that is, thorcls (ire going on, aud 110 riot raging witbirfthe city limits. Hut all is not well, however lustly the cricr in the belfry majtproclaim it. Young mau, havo you been true to yourself aud you^nanhood this wools, ? iu thisj city there aro many clerks aud other employees. Have you beeu faithful to the interests and liouor aud prosperity of your, employers? If not, you eanuot reply to the watchman, that all is well. Young woman, have you met tho higher requirements aud duties of life during all the hours of the past week in such a way as becomes your sex ? Or havo you "becjd, wayward, or disrespectful towards your* parents, or unkind to th3 most humble of your neighbors, or wanting iu charity towards any? Have you gwon utterance to a single impure word, or have you indulged in any evil thoughts ? We trust that you may be able from your inmost hearts to celio back the cry of the watchman, "all is well." And wc would hero ask the uicrehants, bankers, builders, house-keepers, and all who employ people iu any way, huvu,you bccu faithful and kind to thoso under you ?? Have you paid the hire of the laborers that have done your work '( Have you been a patient friend and advisor, and not a hard task-master ? lie view your couduet towards your clerks and laborers, as well as your ledgers, and look into your iuncr self and see if all is well. All is not well in this city of Columbia, at half-past 10 o'clock to night. Many a sigh of sorrow comes up from sore hearts. Many a mother is agonizing over the conduct of some way ward soli. Many a cheek is stained with burning tears on account of the unkindncss, or indifference, or intemperance of husband or brother. If you could only know what comes under thupcye of the Chief of Police, you would feel that all is not well That men should meet in certain houses in this city for no other purpose than losing or winning money; that others should resort to oycry artitice in orderto secure drink ; tiiat some should allure the young and guileless to ways of sin and degradation, is not well. Then, when we hear the saddest story of all?the 11 nift sorrowful chapter in the history of human nature?the story of woman's shauic and ruin, then we cau only let the curtain fall on the scene as t o painful to behold; but wo would inscribe thereon, ''all is not well," ''all is not well."?Columbia /?'ri/isfrr. And is Columbia the only city, town or village, where "all is not well" after the curtain of night is dropped ? The sad but true picture drawn by our friend cf the Rnjishr. wc regret to say, is as true of Union as of Columbia. [Kimtou Times.] _ I? ?... . n i? i l- r.r.iM.Mi a vyAi.K.? neauer. uiu you over a(toui]it to toed a "bran now" calf? It' you have, you will know how to pity a certain farmer not far out of our city, lie commenced by saying that he had one of those disagreeable jobs this week, such as farmers arc liable to have. He said he had determined to raise the calf, and to that end the first thing in order was to learn him to drink. With pail in hand he entered the pen, trying in a mild way to coax the calf. Failing in this, the pail was set aside and an attack made in earnest. After numerous grabs, the calf was secured by getting astride his neck and a hand to each ear. He was then ready for the milk which was in an opposite corner. After waltzing around a considerable length of time, the pail is finally reached. The old saying that "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink," is here verified.) The calf is beginning to get mad, and the head of the family is bogining to get mad, and matters are getting worse. The farmer thrusts his lingers in the calf's mouth in imitation of nature to the calf, but the calf is not to bo fooled in any such way. IIo stands firmly braced against all efforts at coercion. At last, tlio calf's nose was brought in contact with the milk, when, thinking ho was about to he drowned or something of the kind, ho made a sudden dash for freedom, throwing down and tramping upon the head of the family. Matters wcro considerably worse. The calf was mad ; the head ol the family was real mad. The calf kicked up and capered round in a circle ,bleating and snorting. The farmer | indulged in something resembling, although not exactly like the Lord's Prayer, which brought his wife to the scene, who calmly inquired what on earth was the matter with the calf, and tells how her mother used to feed calves. It was easy enough if you go about it her way. Our farmer says, you can all talk, but feeding calves should be placed at the head of the list of putting up stoves and weaning babies. A Smoiit .Mistake.;?A Columbia man was going to Augusta a few nights ago with his wife, and the train started oir suddenly while he was talking with his friends at the depot, lie grabbed hold of a woman, chucked her on the train, jumped after her. and away they went at a rapid rate, wit h his wife shrieking and tearing her hair on the platform, and a woman he never saw before going into high-pressure hysterics in the car, calling hiui a monster and vellitnr "save mo !" Itv n rildo mistake lie had got hold of tho wrong woman, and the conductor, refusing to listen to his explanations, kicked him out of the ear, the brakeniau chucked him into the ditch, an officer met hint as he landed in town tho next morning, and when he got homo. ho saw his business partner holding his wife on his lap, and telling her that there were men in tho world who loved her inueh better than her faithless husband ever did. lie says the next time he 'ravels he Will walk.?Rryittrr, ft " jf Appropriation Bill, p The committee of ways nod means submitted to the House tho bill to make appropriations to meet Pic ordinary expenses of the State govern ment for the fiscal year commencing November 1, 1877, and recommended that it pass.

L'iiakcoal and Li .me.?Permit us to again urge all breeders of poultry who wish healthy fowls, to be liberal in supply| ing their fowls with charcoal. It is one of the best preventives of diseases amongst the fowls that can be named. Even if the fowls are not confined, but especially so if they are, charcoal pounded up into bits or pieces about the size of a grain of corn, or a little finer, should be put around in small piles where the fowls tf:?n"have easy access to it, and they will soon make usj of it. The cost cf charcoal is but a trifle and where the distance from town or city is so great as to prevent it from beinir readilv obtained therefrom, the ashes from a woodatovc may bo sieved out and the small bits of charcoal used in the place of th t niado in the regular way. Especially during the spring and early summer months, is it advisable to use charcoal freely. Lime, too, is valuable in many ways. In the form of white wash it hegets cleanliness, freedom from disease, and laying hens should have lime where they can make use of it, in assisting in the production of the eggs.? The Poultry World. How to Tkeat Hoouks.?The Orangeburg Taxpayer suggests a novel plan of treating criminals. Its suggestion is commended to the consideration of the Logis"hJTuro, before whom the importaut question is now pending. Here it is : We therefore suggest that all parties found guilty of petit larceny twice during any one year be disfrancluscd, and that for the first offense they be pilloried at the Courthouse for a number of days to be fixed by the Legislature. A man who will teal is unfit to vote, and ought not t? be allowed to exerciso a franchise by which he helps to make (Jovernors. Nor ought ho to be fed at the public expense. The pillory and disfranchisement are what we suggest. / A 11 klic ov 1777.?Tlio Now Orleans Tiuics lust September contained the following interesting paragraph, and we learn that it is in contemplation to send the relic to the South Caroliua Historical Society in Charleston, for safc-kcupiug:. Simon F. iMunroo, Esq., of t&s city, who recently returned from a visit to fljColAwuL brought home a curious and iotyvoAn|pMf ic which was uucarthed by the merest accident in an ancient churchyard in Linlithgow, Scotlaud. It is a copperplate, twelve by fifteen inches, taken from an oaken coffin, bearing, iu very legible letters, the following inscription : "James Glen, Esqr., of Longcrofb, Late Governor of South Carolina, Obiit 18th July, 1777, m iEtat 70." The oaken coffin held a lead coffin, in which it is supposed tho remains of Jauics Glen were deposited, from the fact that au otncr copper-plate having an inscription, a fnc.aimile of the above, was found securely attached. The plate in the possession of ft* Munroc was tendered by Adam Daw J son, 'Esq., provost of Linlithgow, who stated that a few years ago, on the occasion of the burial of an American lady, the spade of the sexton struck and biought to the surface this memento of the past. Linlithgow churchyard, in which the remains o'' James (.lieu wore found, is a very ancient place of sepulture, and adjoins the ruins of the famous Linlithgow l'alace, in which Mary Quccu of Scots Was born.? .iYeics ami Courier.
