The evening was bright, genial ami pleasant. The
skies bent blue and »«>ft overhead, and the stars
twinkled aud shone through the far blue over
fair heads and bonnv faces, and gallant Odd Fellows
and their friends as they assembled for the ball.
The gay Odd Fellow, tho rober Civilian, the
shining silk and delicate mnslins of the ladies,
tliu flashing of nature’s jewels. In the shape
of violet or hazel eyes, the glowing cheeks pressed
with the natural crimson tinge of health, and the
waving of fans, mads indeed a pretty picture. Every
one was in high, good humor, and evidently deter
mined t * make Ho; most of everything, and have a
thoroughly ptvssant tint".
Noth mg was left undone for the amusement of
those present. In >i u«ic. dancing and promenading
tho hours were swiftly gathered sway. The Goddess
Terpsichot* reigned supreme in the spacious halls.
An abundant supply of refreshment invigorated the
devott e*. aud all the arts of entertainment were com-
mruded to the pleasure and comfort of the guests.
The managers of the ball i ’ **“ ”' *~

Fulton County Prison.—Ob the S3d of

for scaled proposal* for the building of a county
I rim'* on the «»ld »«te. The contract was to be

by the 13th of October. The contract was awarded
to Messrs. Alexander A Broom head. Ow ing to many
difficulties the contractors did not complete It until
alHMit a month agtv-at least It was not finished so as

The cells arc supplied with water, and water closets.
In each department ar* bath tubs and soapstone

hand-made rim lock. The arrangement for loeking
the doora is ingenious, and renders efforts to open by
prisoner* nnavs liable.
A well is situated in the center with a pump at-

Tiie Tenacity of Truth.—When a na
tion ns clear-headed as the Americans once
become convinced, from long experience and
observations, that an article possesses supe
rior excellence as a medicine, not all the pre
posterous clamor of all the worthless nostrum
venders in the universe can shake their be
lief in its efficiency. Truth ia a very tena
cious thing, as these worthies arc beginning
to discover. Plantation Bitters has too firm
a hold upon the popular esteem to be in the
slightest degree effected by the cold water
diatribes which the advertisers of fermented
slop?, ‘'without a particle of alcohol,” are so
fond of launching against all alcoholic prep
arations The public knows very well tliat
this i*ccrlf?3 renovant and tonic does contain
spirits, but it also knows that they arc of the
purest and most wholesome description, viz.:
lino old St. Croix, the most active and bene
ficial ditluscr of its remedial and invigorating
properties throughout the system which
could possibly be adopted.

Accident.—On Saturday evening, Mr. A.
West, of the firm of West Si Edwards, met with a
serious arddent while cn route to Decatur. When
opposite Msrbnt's Store, a train camo down the rail
road, and the engineer blew his whistle keenly. This
caused Mr. W.’s horse to stirt, (Mr. W. being out on
the ground) knock Mr. W. down, and jump over the
steep embankment on to the track beneath The
hone broke his legs, and was otherwise injured, aud
thu buggy broken np. The horse was valued at $2 23,
and the damage to the buggy altout $75. This acci
dent might luve lrarn prevented, if the engineer had
not (as is thought) blown his whistle unnecessarily
Can not some measure bo devised to check ao much
whistling?
Picnic and Picnic Grounds.—The Picnic

Picnics are set down for Stone Mountain thi* week.
Tills great wonder, surrounded as it 1 ♦ with grand

is it or# ar.d parties. Nature has scattered her
gifts on thi* section with a liberal hand.
Mr. Whit;*, the urbane proprietor of tho King
nonsc, however, has determined to add new attrac-
i. At the base of the mountain, and close to a
flue spring, he has fitted np a platform for dancing
parties, with a refreshment saloon, where everything
good (except liquors) will be kept. Picnic parties
will find nothing wanting to conduce to their com
fort. Mr. Whit" has spared no pains in fitting vp
this establishment.

Editorial Notices are ao common that it
is almost impossible for an editor to express
his honest opinion of tbe merits of any arti
cle without bring suspected of interested mo
tives. This fact, however, shall not deter us
from saying what we think of a new addi
tion to the Materia Medica to which onr at
tention has been recently directed. We re
fer to Dr. J. Walker’s California Vinegar
Bitters, a remedy which is making its way
Into more families just now than all the oth
er advertised medicines put together. There
seems to be no question about the potency of
its tonic and alterative properties, while it
possesses the great negative recommendation
of containing neither alcohol nor mineral
poison. That is a specific for Indigestion,
Billiotuness, Constipation, and many com
plaints of nervous origin, we have reason to
know; and we are assured on good authority
that aa a general invigorant, regulating and
purifying medicine, it has no equal. It is
stated that its ingredients, (obtained from
the wilds of California,) arc new to the med
ical world; and its extraordinary effects cer
tainly warrant the conclusion that it is a
compound -of agents hitherto unknown. If
popularity is any criterion, there can be no
doubt of the efficiency of the Vinegar Bitten,
for tbe sale of the article is immense and
continually increasing. aprl5-d&wlm.
Infection ij stub Air.—At this season
the vegetable world takes a new lease of life;
but to the sensitive and delicate members of
the human family ij is a time of danger and
often of great suffering. The moisture
which rises from the earth and hongs sus
pended over it in the form of morning and
evening mists and fogs, holds in solution, so
to speak, the mephitic elements which pro
duce fever and ague, remittent fevers, rheu
matism, and many pvinful nervous distui-
bances, and which aggravate dyspepsia, bil
iousness and all minor affections of the stom
ach and the bowels. This, therefore, is a
critical period of the year, a season when
the renovating, refreshing and purifying op
eration of the mightiest of all vegetable ton
ics and alteratives, llostettei’s Stomach Bit
ters, is salvation to the weak, and the best
security for the continuance of the health
and vigor of the strong. Now is the time
not only to protect the system against the
common ailments of the season, but to pre
vent the disorders incident to a warmer tem-
wrature. Let not the exhausting heats of
;he summer months find you unprepared to
meet them. A course of HostetteFs Bitters,
commenced now, will put all the physical en
ergies in fighting trim, double tbe capacity of
the internal organs to repel the causes of dis
ease, refresh the brain and clear it of all hyp
ochondriacal cobwebs, and place the whole
physique in an attitude of defence, with ev
ery available point fortified aud guarded and
as nearly invulnerable to unwholesome in
fluences as it is possible for the human struc
ture to be. apr30-deodlw&wlL
Bronchitis.—This is an irritation or in
flammation of the bronchial tubes, which
carry the air we breathe into the lungs. It
arises from a cold settled in the throat, from
Catarrh extending to these parts, from scrof
ulous affections, and from severe use of tbe
voice. The irritation from this latter cause
commences in the larynx and glottin, which
are the organs of tbo voice, and extending
downwards, produces hoarseness, coughing
and spitting mucous matter, sometimes
mixed with blood. It is chiefly dangorous
from its tendency to spread into the lungs,
aud terminate in consumption. It is in the
cure of severe and obstinate cases of this
disease that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Die
covery has achieved unparalleled success, and
won the loudest praise from all who have
used it It is sold by all respectable drug
gists. opr30-deod&wlt

The Illustration of tbe Democracy.
In the history of this Government, says
the Mobile Register, the policy and the prin
ciples of the Democratic party have never
been more highly complimented, or received
more full and triumphant illustration than
theyhave.by the events ofjthejlast ninety days.
What do wc see? A revolt by its best and
wisest members against a victorious and pow
erful party that lias held control of the Gov
ernment for upwards of ten years. A revolt,
for what causes? Not causes personal to
General Grant; but because the creed of that
party has permitted and opened the way for
measures and abuses which the revoltcrs tell
the world are dangerous to the liberties of the
people. Abandoning the creed and the practi
ces and the constitutional interpretations of
their own party, in the zenith of its power,
these revolters arc forced to appeal to a plat
form of their own, and rally the people to it
as a ground of safety. What is that plat
form ? Eveiy foot and inch of its planks, so
far as it is erected, is made ont of Democratic
stuff. Read thgir resolutions, listen to the
speeches of their leaders. W r hat do you find
Why, the declaration of ideas and principles,
aod the enforcement of doctrines that, to
Democrats, have been as “ familiar as house
hold words” for more than a half century.
In short, in flying from the fatal results of
Radical policy in the administration of the
government, and taught by experience that
Radicalism practically administered, leads
t> centralism—which Mr. Trumbull now
says is despotism—these revolters have been
forced to fly to the shcring arms of the
Democratic faith, and to take up and swell
the long and loud ciy for the Constitution of
the United States, which has resounded from
Democratic lips from the foundation of the
Government At last, then, justice i3 done
to the wisdom and saving power of the doc
trines of the Democtatic party. Strange,
indeed, that this coming from the life
long antagonists of the Democracy, while
some of the sons of the Democracy,
Ted of well-doing, are falling away from
their faith, and yielding it in new de
partures and passive imbecility to the de
mands of expediency. We now predict that
if the Cincinnati and the Democratic con
ventions nominate and elect the same ticket,
the new-comers out of the Radical camp will
furnish the soundest and truest blood to the
Democratic party in the future. And to
prove our claim to the honor done to the Dem
ocratic faith by the revolters against Grant
and despotism, we could quote the latest ut
terances of three of their most distinguished
leaders—Senator Schurz, Judge Trumbull
and Governor Gratz Brown. They enunciate
doctrines that Troup, of Georgia, and Cal
houn, of South Carolina, if they were in the
flesh, would indorse.
For holding to such doctrines as these the
Democracy have been hooted at as fools and
knaves, old fogies and traitors. But now
when danger threatens the citadel of Ameri
can freedom, when the wolf is at the door,
the Democratic vindication comes, in the
rush of the frightened people to the high and
and firm ground of Democratic interpreta
tion of American institutions. Is it not a
noble compliment? Why, these men who
come at the eleventh hour to render it, if
. usticc were done, should fall upon their
cnees and beg pardon of the Democracy
for the wrongful abuse they have poured
upon them. But nothing of tho sort is
asked. Help us even now to save our institu
tions, and stay this mail rash to central des
potism, and the gratitude of the unborn will
>e your reward. But for the Democracy wc
have a right to claim honor for the heroism
with which it has stood to the truth and
planted itself on the rock cf the Constitution,
waiting and watching and praying for the
day when reason would assert its power over
passion, and the people would rally to save
their country. Of the Democracy, as of the
Irishman, it may be said:
•‘An Irishman carries hlsheirt la hi* ban3,
And It flows like the water* that circle hi* land;
And the nations depend, in their ni^lit of alarm.
On on Irishman’s faith and an Irishman’s arm.”

The nomination of this staunch old Atlanta
Democrat as its candidate for the vacant
Fulton scat in the Legislature was a deserved
tribute to him and a good act for tho party.
Ilis election is a foregone conclusion, and
he will do honor to the Legislature and to his
constituency.
The LaGrangc Reporter thus speaks of
him, which will show the high estimate in
which he is held abroad.
Colonel Luther J. Glenn, one of Atlanta’s
oldest citizens, is being urged with great in
dustry and perseverance by bis friends. One
of the old guards in tho Democratic ranks,
who never quailed in the military service of
his country in the late war, and who has not
swerved from his duty as a patriot in these
later times, while others have cringed before
the power of the bayonet, or the threatenings
of military satraps or the dictation of Fed
eral authority, he deserves the confidence of
his party and his friends. His nomination
would be a fit testimonial to long service and
the faithful performance of duty os a faithful
Democrat and a good citizen.

At the rate of increase which has hitherto

occupied by the Tailor’s Co-operative Socie-

the stairs, but the smoke and intense heat
drove them back. Three were lost. There
being no way of escape by the roof to the
fourth floor, one jumped from the rear win
dow, fifty feet to the ground, and was picked
up insensible, but without serious injury.
Two others, John and Janies McBride, broth

was caught by the flame» and fell to the floor.
He was burned to a i ri p. The other was
leaning ont of a window, imploring for help,
when the flames oongUi him, and ho was bum

out of the window until the fire was put out.

Earl Granville to Sir E. TJiomton:
Sib: General Schneck informed me on the
231 of March that he had written to Mr. Fish
and told him that he had said to me, in con
ference, that he thought his government
would’not object to Iter Majesty's govern
ment putting in their counter case before the
arbitration without prejudice to a portion of
her Majesty’s governmet. It is now main
tained that tbe government of the United
States would accede to such an understand
ing and he stated his expectation of obtain
ing from Sir. Fish, on the 2d or 3d of April,
by telegraph, his view on that point by the
5th instant
General Schenck wrote me stating that he
had now received Fish’s reply confirming his
opinion. Mr. Fish says General Schenck in
formed me that it is understood in the United
States that the British government is hound
under treaty, to file the counter case; and
that their doing so it does not prejudice the
position they have taken nor affects the
United States, but that the rights of both
parties will be the same after filing as betas e
Gen. Schenck, whom I have seen to-day on his

Mrs. Caxgrove waa too polite to object fur

Such a nuisance I” she said to Mrs. Jaynes-
ford, tliat afternoon. “As if I wanted to
turn collecting agent for the Missionary So
ciety. But Mr. Salter is positively a child in
'ie ways of the world.”
“I wish he’d get his wife a new silk dress,”
said Mrs. Jaynesford. ’Tm tired of seeing
that old figured poplin. Sarah had a new
one last Sunday.”
“Now,” Cried Mrs. Caxgrove, elevating
her nose scornfully; “it is nothing on
the earth but the oinnamon brown dyed
black.”
You don’t soy sol” cried Mrs. Jaynes
ford. “Did you know that Ellen Black had

“My!” interrogated tho lady of the house.
“Aud her uncle failed last week!”
“Some people foil very comfortably,
sniffed Mrs. Jaynesford. “And Helen Harr
told me at the artist’s reception last Thurs
day—”
She checked herself, as the dark blue vel
vet curtain, which fell over the embrasure of
the bay window, was lifted, and her friend's
husband sauntered forth.
“ I did not know you were there Stephen,”
said Mrs. Caxgrove, coloring a little.
“ So I concluded!’’ he observed dryly; and
taking up the little mite chest, he held it
with a smile toward the visitor.
“ I have no pennies,” she said, glancing
over the contents of her Turkish morocco
portemonnaie, and slightly tossing her head,
she rose to leave.
“The stingy creature!” said Mrs. Cax-
gruve, when the door was fairly closed be
hind her.. “I don’t believe any one ever
knew Myrtilia Jancsford to give a cent in
charity.”
“ See here, Lill,” said hep husband, “ I ouly
wish I had a phonographic report of your
conversation for the last hour.’’
Why?”
Because you and your friend Mrs. Jaynes

“Let me make a bargain, my dear,” said
Mr. Caxgrove; ’’I give you a tolerably good

“Yes; but what on earth has that to do
with it ?’’
“Just tliia: Every time your tongue touches
neighbor’s misdoings, or you speak dispar-
gingiy of any one, yon shall put a ten cent

“I would just as soon do it as not,” said
Mrs. Caxgrove, excitedly, “I’m sure I
never—”
“Is it a bargain?”
“Yes, of course. If it was Myrtilia
Jaynesford, now—”
Mr. Caxgrove held out the mite chest
Lilia hit her lip; but she dropped in the little
folded bit of paper.
“Stephen, you are too badl To take me up

“But I thought it wa3 a mistake.”
Mrs. Caxgrove swipt indignantly across
the room. Presently she jerked tho bell
wire.
“Susan,” she said to tho girl who answered
the summons, “do take those sickening tube
roses away.” Anybody might know when
Lawrence has bad a ball at her house; she
sends the second-handed flowers round
among her friends the next day.”
“Susan,” said Mr. Caxgrove, philosophi

said Mrs. Caxgrove, half laughing, half cry

that the mite cheat had met with better j

“What shall I say ?”
“Accept her invitation, I suppose.”
“Oh, Stephen, I would so much rather go
to the opera. It is always so stupid at the
Dallas’s, with old Mrs. Dallas telling about
her coughs and colds, and Jessie always full

“Well, I suppose it isn’t very lively,” said
Mr. Caxgrove, with a smile. “Ten cents,

“Why, Stephen, what have I said? Oh,

“They'll be an awful fib then!” said Mr.
Caxgrove.

2. Best method of organizing and sustain
ing Sunday Schools in country places.
This theme was introduced by the Presi
dent with a beautiful incident of a little girl,
of Selma, Ala., twelve years, who was the
means of organizing a good and profitable
Sunday School.
The Sunday School choir then sang:
“OI the happy time ia coming.”
The above subject was then opened by reso
lution offered by Brother Haygood. Speak
ers were limited to ten minutes.
Brother Haygood has organized 89 Sunday
Schools since the war, and thinks lie has the
right to make the first speech.
SUGGESTIONS.
1. Have a Board of Sunday Schools in
Atlanta who can raise enough money to put
a good missionary in the field, who shall
travel ail over tho country and plant Sunday
Schools.
3. If he don’t plant at least one school a
week, he “is no account,” and you ought to
dismiss him and get a better man.
3. This missionary is to be a good preacher
—one who can and will preach to the chil
dren. Alost preachers arc afraid to preach to
children, as an idea prevails that he who
preaches well to children can't do much else.
Brother G, A. Nunnally Is from the rural
districts, and gives his experience. He finds
do difficulty in getting the children out—the
trouble is with the parents, who won’t come
ont. This can only be obviated by returning
to the Apostolical plan of having weekly
meetings in our churches. Tito monthly
plan will continue aa it has done to bresk
down tho cflorts of tho Sunday School
workers.
Dr, Boyco was forced to speak, because
some brethren here believed that he belonged
to the heavy artillery, and could not make a
Sunday School speech. He accepted Brother
Nunnaily'a plan, and came forward to tell us
that to carry out the weekly system we must
rally to Greenville Seminary, and help to edu
cate a large number of preachers, so that
each church can have its own pastor.
Suggests that a stove is a good thing to
maintain file school after organized; also
thinks they ought to teach the children music,
as singing will bring out the children when
nothing else will. Thinks rewards offered
for punctuality and recruits will act weU.
Dr. Cooper thinks the difficulty of weekly
preachmg insuperable, and the one of music
almost so too.
Notone ia ono hundred church members
know how to sing or to teach music. Week
ly meetings by out churches ore very impor
tant, but mat can be had by the members,
even if no preacher is there. By thus meet
ing to talk, sing, pray, the gifts now smoth
ered and hid away in private members would
be developed. If you can find ono man
whose heart bqrns for Jesus and for souls,
there you can organize and maintain a school;
but if you have not that ono man, you can
make no substitute for this.
Judge Wellborn thinks the first step in
this work is to convince oneself that coun
try children arc S3 much entitled to the bene
fits of Sunday schools as those in the city.
Country children are despaired of by many
Christians. The work is evironed by difficul
ties, but is not impracticable. Pastors gen
erally neglect to urge this work cn parents
ns they should. We preqeh to fite parents—
forget to preach to the children, and yet the
claims of the latter arc greater on us than
those of the former. They have longer to
live and more dangers to meet. Urges coun
try pastors to preach to cltildren more too.
In the Sunday School the sisters can preach,
often more forcibly than do tho ministers
from the pulpits.
Bro. W. H. Davis preaches to a church
one hundred years old, perhaps the oldest one
in Georgia. He -expects to bold a jubilee in
the summer; invites many brethren from here
to attend, lie labors under this difficulty—
the congregation is scattered off for ten miles.
Alany of these people have neither hnrsesnor
gics, Wishes to know how this horse
-iculty is to be overcome;
Bro. Boyce suggests that horses and bog
ies aro not Apostolical, and thinks some of
:e boys and girls can walk.
Brother Campbell thinks the key-note is
struck when you speak of the soul culture of
the children; thinks parents often neglect
home culture instruction, and transfer their
responsibilities to superintendents and teach
ers. Exhorted motherstobe faithful to thdr
chijdrcn; no one can mould ao well the Chil
dren’s minds os mothers. *

QUALIFICATIONS OF SUFEBIBTEEDEKTS AND
TEACHERS.
2. Brother Haygood suggests that the
speakers in this subject make better and
shorter speeches.
Brother Foller has learned of late years to
appreciate the family of agents very highly
—not insurance agents, however, they ate at
best donbtfnl blessings and sure troubles;
but religious agents are a most worthy, noble
pjlUM.
Now he wants a man for Superintendent,
who has a warm enthusiastic nature, can
draw others to himself. He must have some
talent for organizing and withall of indomit
able perseverance. Lyman Beedhar’s success
is owing to his determination to persevere
anyhow. Such men will always succeed,
and sooner or later will build up the Sunday
School.
Bro. Atkinson thinks, in addition to the
qualifications mentioned by Bro. F., a Super
intendent must be a man of common sense
and deep toned piety. But where are they to
befound? At least one can be found in every
Church.
Brother Lofton mentions this other quali
fication—aptness to teach. Without this
other gifts are unavailing.
Again, the teachers most be qualified to do
their work. With poor teachers and Super
intendent the uniform lessons are the poorest
methods that he ever saw; bat with good
Superintendents and teachers it is the best
method in the world in his judgment.
Two grand objects in Sunday Schools are,
to te«ch the child to see its own heart in the
light of divine truth, and to lead them by
this divine light to* Jesus. Dr. Wellborne
has studied for years the qualifications of
teachers, yet can’t tell you in what the teerd of
the true teacher’s power lies | he must, how
ever, have confidence in himself, then secure
the conficenceof the pupils under him; most
he folly qualified in mind. Children are close
observers, and will instantly notice any inef
ficiency on the part of teachers.
As to Superintendents, they must hive the
inherent faculty of commanding those under
their control.

IN SIEMOHIA3VI.
MRS. E. LOU. CLOUD, eldest daszlitcr ot Ur. and
Mrs. B. F. Veal, of Stono Mountain, Georgia, \m
born February 7th, 1850, end died February S7th,
1374; »gcd years and 20 days. Ucr childhood and
yonth was spent in her father’s family, in which
household she was tho light, tho jewel, the cqtnfect-
tag angel Her mother has for many year* been an
invalid, and on “Louisa” deTolved the early guldlnp,
training and educating of her younger brother and
sister; and well did she perform the task, acqnlrirg
influence over them for good that will still sm-
rive even now that *he 1* consigned to tho grave.
During my first years pastorate with the Stoss
Mountain church (IKS) Our Heavenly Father grad
oualy revived our hearts, aad add£d fifteen young
converts to the church. Mrs. O. waa of that number.
I remember well her relation of God’a work of grace
hbr heart-dear, condae, satisfactory to all. Her
simple faith in Jesns was most lovdy. On the fourth
Sabbath in August, 1868,1 led her, and others—among
them two of the lamented Elder McDonald’s chil
dren—down into th* still waters of baptism, and
from that day until her decease, the ever adorned her
profession by the practloe or every good word acd
work within hor power. Like David, she greatly
delighted in the Courts of the Lord’s llouse, and waa
one of ^ny most constant, attentive, appreciative
hearers. In the Sunday School she was a nobio
worker, universally bdoved. I speak from experi
ence when I say few persons have performed for us,
others, so faithfully the kind offices of the sick
room. For many wceks;my dear wife was the subject
* a very deep affliction. During this time Mrs. C.
left her home, and performed the part of nurse and
physician to my wife, matron to my family, [and
mother to my .well nigh orphaned children; and
under God, we are Indebted this day to her kindness
and devotion for the life of our llttlo.eon. In obits**
riea it is common to say many good things of onr
departed friends—in this instance I can select only *
few of the works worthy of mention.
On the 14th December, 180, she was led to the
bridal altar by Mr, J. E. Cloud, aad until the day of
her death their life was one brixht, cloudless day of
joy and peace. Their union waa blessed of God by
the gift of a dear little son, who now Is left to weep
with the disconsolate father above the mother’s
grave. For this son, whom sho loved ardently, she
doelred to live, but even could calmly yield him to
the care of “Israels Gentle Shepherd,” and die in
peace. Her last sickness was long protracted, run
ning into months, and truly the most painful that I
ever witnessed; yet she did not murmur nor repine;
was always ready to talk of religion, and unite with
her pastor in prayer. At my last Interview with her
said: “My dear sister. It seems likely that the
ettorts of friends and physicians in your behalf will
fail.-If It is your Heavenly Father's will «*** yon
called to die soon, hare you a good hope. In
Jesus?” “Yes,” she replied, “if# is my off; nothing
else left now; lam not afraid to die; my Savior is
nearer to me now than ever before;” and in this «lm
confidence sho “ fell aMeep In Jesus.” Thus passed
away one of earth’s loveliest, dearest, purest daugh
ters, in full tide of youth, with many bright
and joyous prospects before her. Thy will, O Lord, be
done, we now would not bring her back. Her hus
band, ere her sicknes^bad began to rear for them *
beautiful mansion on a beautiful deration, looking
out on the bold Granito Mountain. The m
now complete, but she who was to be the light and
joy of that household, baa gone. That bouse was
“made with hands.” She now roams through
spacious chambers, lofty gallariss and peerless domes
not made with bands, fternal oa High.” That
House looks out on -the Grand Itoik of Georgia.
She now is planted and bullded oa the rock of age*
that shall never crumble nor decay. Thatb
yet be tbe abode of sorrow and tears, end death, but
she U now in “Jerusalem tbe golden,” where “God
hath wiped all tears from their eyes.” Aa Ia
plate the glorious change, I can aay of a truth with
the Patriarch of old, “I would not liveaiway.” Othat
husband and parent?, and brother and sisters, and
pastor and friends may, like her, Uve for God, and
die triumphantly. She has gone in God’a own good
time. The shock fully ripe, the apple mellowed, the
days work done. He calls her home.
“Well done faithful servant, enter thou into tLo
joys of thy Lord.”
“ Go to the grave In all thy glorious prime,
In fall activity of zeal aad power;
A Christian cannot die before his time.
The Lord’s appointment is the servant’s boor.
“Go to the grave, at noon from labor free.
Rest on thy sheaves, thy harvest task la done;
Come from the heat of battle, and in peaco
So’dler go home; with thee the fight Is won.
“Go to the grave, for there tbe Savior lay
In deaths embrace e’re He rose on high;
And eU the ransomed by that narrow way
Pass to eternal life beyond the sky.
“Go to the grave? No, take thy seat above.
Be thy pure spirit present with the Lord;
When thou for fai»h and hope hast perfect love,
A*d open vision in the written word.”
