[Column 1]
THE GOSPEL OF BEAUTY
---
BY H. L. FLASH.
---
Beauty dwelleth in the humblest thing!
The flower blooming in some lonely nook
Will preach a tranquil sermon to the mind;
And in the babbling of the summer brook,
When baby-waves grow garrulous as age,
Are heard dim stories of the long ago,
When fairies were not dead, and elfin hosts
Stole out to dance upon the moon-lit snow!

Beauty is every where! Those who see it not
Have clouded eyes, hearts fit for mold;
The warmth of beauty permeates the earth,
And only sin is drear, and bleak, and cold;
Men shut their eyes, and cry aloud,
"'Tis dark as Erebus; there is no light!"
And so, groping, mole-like, through the earth,
Shrouded in gloom where every thing is bright.

There are two perceptions:- The eyes can see
Things palpable, and not to be denied'
The spirit sight streams on through sun-lit space,
And floweth heavenward in an endless tide!
The one can see the shivering streams of light
The trembling moonshine on some ruin throws,
The flush of rose-leaves and the heart of buds;
The other sees the perfume of the rose.

The air is populous with beauty!
'Twixt the trees and clouds, the earth and sky,
Float souls of colour, shadows and sunbeams,
Spirits of dew-drops, that can never die,
Melodies ecstatic, to which the notes
Of shepherds, heard in fabled Aready,
Are grating discords; airs divine,
Echoing softly through eternity!

Beauty is wisdom purified -
The sum of life - the total of our breath -
The satisfier of our spirit yearnings,
Revealing God without the aid of death;
For those who pierce the shadowy mists of earth,
And forms of beauty in the aether see,
Have drunk in knowledge of immortal life -
Beauty is Heaven's epitome.

Prospectus of the Hygienic and L[it]erary Magazine.
THE undersigned take pleasure in anno[un]cing [to] the former
patrons of the Medical and Literary W[ee]kly, a[n]d the public
generally, that they have made arrangements where[b]y the above
mentioned paper will be converted into a mon[th]ly b[ea]ring the title
of THE HYGIENIC AND LITERARY [M]AG[A]ZINE, to be
issued the first of each month in the city of A[tla]nta

The Magazine will be about the size of "Go[-]y's [L]ady's Book"
and will embrace three prominent Departme[nt]s, [vi]z.: HYGIENIC,
LITERARY and EDUCATIONAL. The "Hygien[ic] [Dep]artment," or
that pertaining to the Laws of Health, will, as [-]er[-]fore, be under
the immediate supervision of Dr. V. H. TALIAFE[RRO] and will form
a prominent as well as important feature in the re[adi?]ng matter
of the Magazine; and, as in the "Weekly," will wage [war?]with Quack-
ery and Empyricism inall its forms, and keep p[er?]nently before
the public those great Hygienic principles as dedu[-] from Science,
which govern and influence the health of individu[als?] and commu-
nities.

The Literary Department will be managed by T. C. DEAKE
and Rev. M. A. MALSBY, and will embrace the pr[-]tions of the
best and most talented writers of the SOUTH.

The first number will contain the PRIZE POEM by [-] A. Means,
for which he receives the Silver Cup awarded by t[he] [E]ditors of the
"Weekly:" also, the Prize Romance, by that ch[-] and accom-
plished writer, Jessie Randolph, for which she rece[ived] the Prize of
$200, will commence with the first and run through [se]veral succes-
sive numbers.

The Educational Department will contain the op[inions] and views
of the leading educators of the day, and will be de[vote?]d to the ele-
vation and improvement of the masses.

The first number will be out by the first of Dec[emb]er, at which
time the Volume commences.
