OUlt BUTT.
Communities no Iosb than individuals
have specific duties devolving upon them.
Cities arc hut an aggregation of individ
uals. They arc called into existence by
that inherent social sentiment born in
the human soul; and preserved by that
mutual interest and dependence which
closer contact gives. The quicker ex
change of labor and values, the projec
tion that organization secures and the
mental and social improvement incident
to increased opportunities are the dis
tinguishing traits of a city. If then a
comity of interest, mutual progress and
mental culture are the exponents of such
a community, there rests upon each man
certain responsibilities he should cheer
fully assume and quickly perform. Dr.
South has said, “ If there be a truer
measure of a man than what he does, it
must be by what he gives.” So
that he reaches highest and
approaches nearer the ideal
of manhood, if he both performs and
gives. No consolation ever offered hu
manity approaches that of a conscious
ness of having done something during
our probation here. Holy writ has spoken
the words, “It is more blessed to give
than receive.” Then it fills both the
measure of human and divine commands
to take on the majesty of work and give
freely to that which deserveth well.
Notwithstanding there is high author
ity for the assertion, it is not true that
“all men are horn free nnd equal.” To
some men there is given a breadth of
thought, a bower to grasp, an ability to
execute that challenges admiration and
looks long for a counterpart among their
fellows. But as it is given to eaeli
man, so shall it be required of him. It
behooves us then as citizens of the same
city to ask ourselves if we
are doing the full meas-
me of our duty. There a e two ways to
live in this world, the one decrying inno
vations and having narrow mindedness
for its watchword, the other with pro
gress on its banner and energy as its mo
tive power. Bill Arp has said that there
is great hopes for any town which lias
one active man. .But we are confident it
would ho better for that town, as it would
have been for the doomed city Lot
pleaded for, if more than one could be
found.
One brave leader is worth a thousand
men, but the men must be there if the
leader is to assail a stronghold.
We have taken in now life in the
south. As uyual Georgia leads the host,
and conspicuous iu this march is the fair
city o! Columbus. Unity of action means
a conquest of all obstacles. A
liberal hand turned toward
public enterprise, means quick
and complete success. No adver
tisement ever was so potent as the legend
that ours is a live town. We have this
reputation ; we should maintain it.
Tire new year will soon be hero. It
will open with Columbus in the full-tide
of prosperity. New opportunities will
come with 1X87; when they do we should
look beyond the present in our meas
urement of them and beyond self in the
fulfillment of our duty. The dying year
leaves us pleasant memories of our ac
complishments during the past twelve
months and renewed hope for the future.
A pull altogether will place us safely upon
the pinnacle of success, admired by our
peers and an example for imitators.
of the different churches impartially, and
this, it is observed, is the characteristic
also of tlie body of the membership. It
is easy to he seen that siTch an organiza
tion as this acting in the midst of a com
munity as plastic and responsive as that
of this city will have an important influ
ence on the daily life of the people, espe
cially young men, strangers and those
who have no family restraints about
them. Untold good will thus he accom
plished in furnishing clean associations,
innocent amusements, books and pur
suits in consonance with the higher and
better teachings of Christianity. It is
their purpose to fit up a hall with all the
modern surroundings of an elegant home,
where young men can repair at all times
to spend an idle hour or an evening.
The temptation of the saloons, of cards,
billiards and the like, are thus carried
far away from our young men. This as
sociation is intended to show them that
there is a better life within reach; that
there are warm-hearted men who would
do them good rather than evil; whose
sympathies go out readily to the young,
and whose hands and hearts go with
them in their struggles with the world,
and for a higher plane of moral, religious
and social excellence.
It is believed by those who have given
the entire question thorough considera
tion, that a fund of$27)00 will accomplish
all of this, nnd put the association upon a
permanent and sound financial basis
from the start. To this -end the execu
tive board asks the people of Columbus
of every denomination ami shade of
opinion to help. Let all do something,
no matter how much or how little. Let
there be no drones in this work, hut
rather let each give what he can. There
are mothers in this city whose boys are
coming up upon the threshold of man
hood who are praying for the success of
this enterprise with file hope that their
lads will take the direction of the Young
Men’s Christian Association rather than
the saloons and gambling halls of the
country, and we verily believe that the
mnjority of the men engaged in the
whisky business of this city would pre
fer to see the young men go to the asso
ciation rooms rather than the bar-rooms.
This is a grand matter, and it will
servo as much or more than any other
influence to trim off the rough edges of
sectarianism. It is not to take the place
of or to in any way interfere with any
church. .We are glad to see the leading
business men of the city engaged ac
tively in the work of this association. It
is not only reassuring as to the quality
of the work to be done, but it is a guaran
tee of absolute success in the end. Men
of this kind do not fail. They do not
originate or conduct enterprises of doubt
ful success, and their presence in this is
assurance that its mission will be well
performed.
derly than the expensive tribute; and we
a 1 know what objects in the treasury of
mementos receive our tears in regretful
hours—objects that have no value to the
world, and yet that all the treasures of
the world could not buy from us.
Let all give something, ami have no
care that the gift is inexpensive. If you
fear your slightest present may not be
well received, be sure that any gift you
may send will bo appreciated in the
spirit of the day, and that you will find
it blesses vou.

The permanent organization of the
Young Men’s Christian Association of
this city constitutes an important step in
the social life of Columbus. At its head
etand gentlemen of the very first busi
ness and social consideration, which, if
the general nature or the organization
was not so well known as it is, would be
in and of itself a sufficient guarantee of
the high character of the enterprise.
The executive board have determined
to raise $2500 by popular subscription to
put the association upon a permanent
basis. Of this amount $1209.50 have
been contributed. The object Iras al
ready been given the public. The asso
ciation is to be entirely non-sectarian, and
thfixoll of officers is mads up of members
BUYING FOB OTHERS.
Less than a week—only five days, and
Christmas will be here. How much more
blessed it is to give than to receive will
be well illustrated during these five days.
For several days past stores and streets
have been thronged with people eager to
make purchases of articles to be used as
Christmas gifts. It is doubtful if a like
crowd and crush would at any other sea
son of the year be distinguished by such
prevalent good nature—such smiling
faces, such happy chatter. One who de
lights in the study of character, who lias
a fondness for analyzing the impulses of
concourses of men, women and children,
must esteem it a vast privilege to push
through the throng, looking into faces
and listening to bits of conversation.
The holidays, and the few days pre
ceding them, are a transformation
period. When the fairy of the panto
mime comes in and touches her wand to
the mgs of Goody Two Shoes we rejoice
to see tlie spangles and airy graces of fair
Columbine, even though we may reflect
that aft r the frolic is over the rags and
the poverty may return again. In a
higher sense Christmas is a fairy wand
touching the rough hearts of humanity
and producing therefrom the shining
spirits of benevolence, good-will charity,
unselfishness, and a great brightness
spreads all around, gladdening the earth
and improving the people of the earth.
This custom of buying things for
others as testimonials of good cheer, of
love, of amity, is one among the noblest
institutions of Christendom; and they
most appreciate tlie fact who go about—
as it is beautifully said of the good Fane-
Ion, the humble French priest who lost
himself in others—remembering the for
gotten. There is a genuine thrill of
pleasure in receiving a choice gift or
some pretty souvenir, but it is merely
momentary and empty happiness com
pared with the gratification to the giver,
who may cherish through the year the
thought that he lightened the burden of
the heavy laden, threw a gleam of joy
into the life of some hopeless one, or
made the bells of memory repeat the
sweet chimes of other days in one sad
heart.
It requires very little to make the heart
glad. Costly gifts are by no means the
best. As a rule they illustrate a spirit of
pride and affectation, a desire not to be
outdone in display, not to be thought
mean in expenditure. That which moat
endears the token to the recipient is the
sentiment of the sender; and os the
widow’s mite in the old temple at Jerusa
lem was more acceptable to the Lord
than the carelessly deposited coins of the
rich, so a simple token prompted by af
fection, delicate sentiment, or loyal
friendship ia often cherished more ten-
